Mardi Gras Costume Party?
Get your beads and your crazy costumes and head down to New Orleans, its Mardi Gras time. Apart from the scheduled events, everyone wears fancy costumes or at least a mask, and dresses in the Mardi Gras colors of purple (symbolizes justice), green (symbolizes faith), and gold (symbolizes power).
Picking just the right Mardi Gras clothes, means that first of all you need to decide what you want to express with them., Whether or not you want conservative or something wild or in between means that you have to make a few choices prior to beginning to collect the clothing or to make what you want.
Lake Charles is also the only place in the state where the public is invited to see the ornate costumes the royal courts from all local krewes in one place, both at the Twelfth Night evening, usually held on January 6 each year, as well as the Royal Gala, held the evening before Mardi Gras day. Ideas galore for you.
