Now that the Carnival season has come to an end, we at MardiGrasNewOrleans.com want to hear your about your adventures.

Send us your pics, videos, stories and anything else you may have picked up along the way during your stay here in New Orleans. Chances are we will feature them on the site. Please remember to keep it clean, and family friendly, y’all.

As for the team here, we couldn’t have had a better time. From dressing up in costume as a ballerina, clown or a even a tree, we made the most of our Mardi Gras celebration. We had the best time catching Endymion from the stands at Michaul’s, walking down Royal Street during Fat Tuesday, and taking it all in on the balcony of the Royal Sonesta.

When shopping for your or your loved ones’ Halloween costume, be sure to keep in mind that Mardi Gras is right around the corner.

Mardi Gras, especially in New Orleans, is a great excuse to dress up, and residents of the Crescent City sometimes go decades without missing the chance to don a crazy costume.

After you have decided what to be, or what to dress your children as for the 2008 Halloween festivities, start thinking about costume ideas for February of next year. Be careful not to buy any costume materials until after Halloween, however, to make sure you get your costume gear at the lowest prices.

Mardi Gras is a great opportunity to step outside yourself and partake in a community of celebration. Don’t miss out on the chance to have a great costume while doing so!
