About how many people attend MArdi Gras in New Orleans?
About how many people attend MArdi Gras in New Orleans?
hard to estimate they sometimes do it a day or so after by counting the tons of trash picked up.
if you mean how many ppl go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras day, they estimated the Saints victory parade generated 800,000 ppl. so Mardi Gras is close to that.
if you mean how many ppl go to parades all over the state that would be between 1 an 2 million.

I am trying to find out a little info about the courtyard guess house in the french quarter in new orleans. I was just trying to find some people that have stayed there and get some info.
Can’t say I have but check w/ the online booking sites (i.e. Orbitz, Priceline, etc.) Its likely the Courtyard is one they offer & possible that a prior guest reviewed it.
Good luck.

What states do the Mardi Gras, besides New Orleans?
The city I live in plus the city next to us, are doing Mardi Gras now, with parades and necklace
throwing and drinking also. This is in Washington and Oregon across the river from each other. I
wondered if this is an isolated celebration of just the two cities, or are other areas besides New Or-
leans doing this also.
The location didn’t come out completely.
I meant to include Louisiana affer the
New Orleans.
I wondered how much this out of state
observance has spread. And how far
away from the traditional site.
My dearest friend is on a cruise and attending the Gay Mardi Gras in Australia, They advertise it as the largest in the world.
I had no idea they had one up there in G-d’s country too.

Five Highlights of Golf in the Loire Valley
The Loire Valley is known as one of the most beautiful regions in France - rolling hills, beautiful chateaux, and lush countryside all along the length of the Loire River at its heart. Away from the crowds at the golf courses in the North of France, golf in the Loire Valley is a great pleasure for those in the know. Located at the centre of the country, the Loire is within easy reach of visitors from the UK - here are just a few of the highlights of a golf holiday to this magical part of France…
The Scenery
Known as “The Garden of France” the Loire Valley is a delight to explore. You can take riverside walks along the Loire itself, explore the shaded woodlands, or go on a day trip to beautiful historic towns such as Tours and Angers. The Loire’s golf courses take full advantage of this gorgeous scenery, and a round of golf here is a real feast for the eyes.
The Weather
Although it is relatively close to the UK, the Loire is far south enough to enjoy excellent year round weather. All of the courses in the region are open and maintained for the whole year - no matter when you want to play golf in the Loire Valley, you’ll enjoy outstanding weather and a great selection of courses.
The Chateaux
The Loire Valley is justly famed for its glorious chateaux. These outstandingly maintained country houses are a real pleasure to look upon, and it is rare that more than five miles passes in the Loire before you stumble across another one of these beautiful buildings. These aren’t just to be admired as you pass through - many golf courses in the Loire have a chateau as a central feature, or even as the clubhouse!
The Courses
There’s more to golf in the Loire Valley than just the beautiful scenery as it features many of the best courses in the country. There are numerous courses in the region; perhaps the best is Les Bordes in Saint-Laurent-Nouan. Rated as the joint number one course in Europe, every single hole is a fresh challenge and a delight to play, and the outstanding clubhouse is the perfect place to relax before or after you play. Running a close second is Limere Orleans; host to several PGA Championships, the woodland course is a beautiful and satisfying place to play golf in the Loire Valley.
The Hotels
The quality of the courses in matched by the Loire Valley’s many luxury golf hotels. Chateau des Sept Tours is the only Chateau-golf hotel in the Loire, and offers a truly unforgettable place to stay, or there is ‘La Tonnellerie’, a delightful family run hotel in a 19th century mansion. ‘Mercure le Sloi’ is right next to a ten mile stretch of beach, and the excellent ‘Hotel de France’ is right in the centre of Angers. However you want to stay during a golf break in the Loire, you are sure to find a hotel to suit your tastes.

Our Local Festival: Haven for Dressing Up
According to my favorite online encyclopedia, Mardi Gras is an annual festival marking the final day before the Christian fast of Lent, a 40-day period of self-denial and abstinence from merrymaking. It is also known as Shrove Tuesday or Carnival. Mardi Gras is the last opportunity for revelry and indulgence in food and drink before the Lent. The word Mardi Gras means âFat Tuesdayâ in the French word.
The date of Mardi Gras changes from year to year, but it is always falling between February 3 and March 9. The Carnival season is marked by spectacular parades featuring elaborate floats, beauty pageants, elaborate costumes, masked balls, and dancing in the streets. The most famous of these kinds of festivals are those found in Brazil and in New Orleans.
Ah, so this is where our city got our very own festival. During the 1980s our city was a rich city because of the sugar industry. Sugar barons strut around like kings and own vast tracts of land like the old medieval feudal system. However, the crash of the sugar industry brought about widespread unemployment and poverty. It was a very painful wake-up call for everyone who thinks the days of plenty will never end. The local government, in response, decided to hold a Mardi Gras like street party where the people wore smiling masks and dance in the streets. It was a successful festival. The people for a moment forgot their misery and it even proved as manna from heaven when tourists began arriving to witness the event thus giving money to the city because of tourism.
The city then provided different gimmicks to keep the visitors coming. Popular bands and artists were invited to perform during the week-long event. Then there were mask making contests and dress up games for children. The dress up games go hand in hand with mask wearing and during the festival one can always see children in costumes and masks. Winners of these contests usually earn a modest amount enough to compensate for the effort in joining this mask making contests and dress up games.Â
As a youngster, I enjoy these dress up games. I would go with my family watching the street dance competition and taking in the sights. It was a sort of a family tradition for us to join the celebration until nighttime, eat out in one of those outdoor barbecue places (our city is famous for its barbecue chicken) and then try the various kiddie rides in the carnival for a cheap price.
My fondest memories of attending these festivals are not the dress up games and mask making contests or the street dancing that I witnessed but this singular scene wherein my father would raise me up and put me in his shoulder so that I could see what was going on around me despite the throngs of people in the streets.  Since then I always make sure to join in the celebration, I am anticipating what surprises have the local government in store for next year.
