• The Holiday of Mardi Gras is celebrated in all of Louisiana, including the city of New Orleans. Celebrations are concentrated for about two weeks before and through the day before Ash Wednesday.
• Usually there is one major parade each day (weather permitting); many days have several large parades.
• The largest and most elaborate parades take place the last five days of the Mardi Gras season. In the final week, many events occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities, including parade and balls.
• The modern tradition states that anyone who is served a slice of king cake and gets the baby in their serving is the “lucky” king for a day, and therefore must buy the king cake for next year’s Mardi Gras celebration. Carnival etiquette calls for the cake that the king must buy for next season to be of equal or greater value.
• However, for safety reasons, bakers no longer insert their own baby into the king cake due to the fact that the lucky recipients might be unlucky in being served a choking hazard. Thus in the era of the modern lawsuit, bakers find it safer and more cost effective not to place a small plastic toy into their baked goods. 
• The colors of Mardi Gras purple (justice), gold (power), and green (faith.)
