The Mardi Gras Photos That Make You Wish You Were There
As Mardi Gras comes to a close, we reached out to our friends in the Gulf to see how the South celebrated Carnival season this year. From Mobile to the Crescent City the crowds didn’t disappoint. Take a peek at some of our favorite images from the NOLA Defender, and the Mobile Mask, then show us your Mardi Gras experience using #SLMardiGras on Twitter and Instagram. Keep it clean guys.
NOLA Defender, a digital daily that covers the Crescent City, shows us how its done in New Orleans.
