Mardi Gras

New Orleans, USA

Get your party on and practise your French by yelling laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll) this February in the party capital of America, New Orleans. From vibrant, loud, family-friendly street parades to chilled-out jazz concerts, the city has something for everyone trying to shake off the winter blues. Wear the festival colours – purple, green and gold – that represent justice, faith and power, and get ready to get into the spirit of hope that has been igniting this day since the celebrations started back in 1857. February 28
