This year’s Mardi Gras took place on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 and I traveled to the town where the parade first began (in the early 18th century, not New Orleans but Mobile, AL.

I attended an afternoon parade in Mobile (and an evening parade the night before in Fairhope, AL) and photos are now available in the above gallery that were originally created for BTRtoday.
