Mardi Gras! Carnival! Carnaval! Karneval! Carnevale!

“In Central and South American countries, each region developed its own unique Carnaval combination of Spanish, Native and African traditions …
In New Orleans, fashionable French costume parties combined with African-American song and dance for Mardi Gras. The streets swell with fancy floats and parading dancers costumed in as much as one hundred pounds of feathers and beads.
Masks play an important part in Carnival games, plays, parties, and parades …”
