A young girl catches Mardi Gras beads as the Floral Parade travels down Royal Street, 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.
