Mobile is not the originator..First Mardi Gras in Mobile was 1703 The first American Mardi Gras took place on March 3, 1699, when French explorers Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville and Sieur de Bienville landed near present-day New Orleans, Louisiana. They held a small celebration and dubbed their landing spot Point du Mardi Gras. (Some argue the port city of Mobile, Alabama was actually the first to observe the event.) In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. When the Spanish took control of New Orleans, however, they abolished these rowdy rituals, and the bans remained in force until Louisiana became a U.S
Thank you for providing this! With my AR glasses it is like watching this in person... without all the hassle of dealing with the obnoxious crowds and parking situation.
Had a driver's license for 74 years. Never had a moving violation. Only a parking ticket in Mobile in 1954. Parked too close to a fire hydrant. I quit going after the crowds got too rowdy.

Happy Mardi Gras 🎭💥🎊🥂
Horrible coverage. Camera person all over the place. Where are the bands.
Watching the livestream earlier there were a ton of bands. I was sad to not have the sound with it
