Mardi Gras in Mobile | L. Craig Roberts

2 posts

Mardi Gras in Mobile began its carnival celebration years before the city of New Orleans was founded. In the 1700s, mystic societies formed in Mobile, such as the Societe de Saint Louis, believed to be the first in the New World. These curious organizations brought old-world traditions as they held celebrations like parades and balls with themes like Scandinavian mythology and the dream of Pythagoras. Today, more than 800,000 people annually take in the sights, sounds and attractions of the celebration. Historian and preservationist L. Craig Roberts, through extensive research and interviews, explores the captivating and charismatic history of Mardi Gras in the Port City.

Happy Mardi Gras, y‘all! My son and his family are at the parades, but we haven‘t been in years. The parking is awful unless you get there really early or don‘t care if you have to walk a mile or so. My husband can‘t do that.

Reggie Happy Mardi Gras! 2y
