After being at both Mobile actually care about the tradition and meaning of Mardi Gras better then New Orleans Mardi Gras. If it really wasnt for the original Mobilians New Orleans wouldnt have a Mardi Gras, it would be called something else. All it take is real research. I definitely will be going to Mobile Mardi Gras more because my soul really feel the celebration. My ancestors was part of the originals and im from Mississippi.
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

🤔 Mardi Gras was created four years earlier in New Orleans first before Mobile..it got bigger first in Mobile and became an anual event there but was not created there thats a misconception.

This is a selective glimpse of Mobile Mardi Gras. You excluded the controversial Comic Cowboys. Why is that? Aren't you proud of that significant and popular ingredient?
@@marzdizzle8093 Uh, you forgot something...………….the Mardi gras orgin is France, they brought "Mardi gras" to Mobile, a territory of French Louisiana, THEY are the "founders"!
Yet, they're playing a song in the background originated in New Orleans for such an occasion. They are the first, but they're not original. Mardi Gras is something entrenched in the community in places like New Orleans and the Latin Americas. Mobil's is straight out of their chamber of commerce office trying to make a cheesy dollar off of truism. The spirit is not there in Mobil. In Louisiana, schools, offices, cities and state government, and most business take a holiday on Fat Tuesday. We live and breath this thing we call Mardi Gras.
Yeah, that's FAT Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday. And if it weren't for the Cowbellion de Rakin Society from Mobile, Comus would have never happened. They were on the verge of shutting down the prior carnival celebrations that were happening in NOLA at the time. And another tidbit, the founders of Comus were non Catholic transplants to NOLA from the North, which saved carnival in NOLA. And why they call it "Saxon Mardi Gras". Teaching actual history in NOLA has not been our forte. I think we've just made stuff up as we go. And if you think I'm making it up, it's all in a little book called The Mistick Krewe: Chronicles of Comus and His Kin that Errol Laborde and Henri Schindler constantly refer to, though they like to interpret the way they feel like.
You've never been to Mobile for Mardi Gras. There's more spirit here than you could possibly ask for. Here in Mobile all schools, city, county, and state governments, banks, offices, EVERYTHING, is closed on FAT Tuesday. And not only Tuesday, but Monday and Wednesday as well. In fact, schools are closed for the entire week. In Mobile it's all about the Mardi Gras and we celebrate it. In New Orleans it's all an excuse for out-of-towners to converge on the city and party and get drunk.
@@danclark8690 School and government offices are not closed on that particular day or the day before in places outside of Louisiana. it's a fetival in other places in North America beyond Louisiana not an an "official state holiday." New Orleans is not special. They're very special. You're clueless like most who don't know the history relevant to Carnival/Mardi Gras. It's a great money grab though for other places cheesy.🤣🤣
It goes down in the BIG EASY even though it was "original" in the BIG CHEESY. "Moon pies my brother!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 On the real, I love BAMA. I'm just having fun with your Chamber's attempt to differentiate. They can't trump NOLA by pointing out they were the first. The Bible thumping Southern Baptist culture is too deep in Alabama to really respect Mardi Grass. It's a money maker, and that's where their tolerance for such an event comes from.

Nola Chick NOLA does it better if you are tourist who doesn’t care about the actual history and spirit of Mardi Gras and just wants to get drunk. Straight facts.
@@Killallfatpeople No one goes to mobile lol…well I can tell you’ve never been by that statement. A lot of people go, mainly people who want to enjoy it authentically without their kids seeing a bunch of tits and people passed out in a gutter. To each their own I guess
@@KillallfatpeopleActually you're wrong. I went for the first time to Mobile Mardi Gras and felt like people actually cared about the tradition of it compared when I went to New Orleans Mardi Gras the last two times. I'm from Mississippi and just move to Alabama and actually did research of the two. Mobile originals is the reason New Orleans has Mardi Gras today.

The first and the safest of the two oldest. What more could you ask for? NOLA is for the tourists. Mobile is for the locals, as it should be.
Looking forward to the 2024 Season!!!

If you want to experience Mardi Gras at it's best, go to New Orleans, La.
That's just like, your opinion, man.
Mobile is the founder of madi gras
Don't forget the possibility of getting shot in NOLA. Yeah that's always family friendly.

Nearly ALL mardi gras music Mobile plays during that time is New Orleans-styled or EXACT New Orleans songs and music.

NOLA has more culture and diversity then a city in Alabama.
