Mardi Gras is a long-standing tradition, filled with fun, families and often, a lot of booze.
But there's something really important about the season you may not know ... something that people in one part of the country have known for centuries.You see, Mardi Gras began in Mobile, Alabama – a port city with close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, located about 140 miles east of the Big Easy.
."Carnival with Mardi Gras, at its height, is Mobile, Alabama's greatest living tradition. Ever-evolving, yet embedded in the minds and hearts of Mobilians, it is a part of the city's landscape and spirit."Mardi Gras was observed for the first time in the New World by French pioneers at Twenty-Seven Mile Bluff, the first settlement of Mobile way back in 1703. And it only grew from there.
