Millions of fun-seekers travel to New Orleans Bourbon Street in the French Quarter every year to celebrate Mardi Gras on a grand scale, with masked balls and colorful parades, since French settlers arrived in the early 1700s.
Marching bands take to the streets with music and festive dress to start the celebration by spreading jazz music through the city before the more than 350 floats and 15,000 costumed paraders.
Crazy costumes and wild make-up are the order of the day for paraders and parade-watchers alike.
