A Mardi Gras float featuring Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web travels down Royal Street during the Floral Parade, March 4, 2019, in Mobile, Alabama. The theme of this year’s floral parade was “Throw Me a Book,” with 16 floats featuring classic characters from children’s books. Mobile’s first official Mardi Gras celebration was recorded in 1703. Mardi Gras originated as a French tradition of feasting and revelry before the austere Catholic Lent. Mardi Gras officially ends on Fat Tuesday. Lent begins the following day on Ash Wednesday.
