After Katrina, while everyone was still devastated, and the city still in ruins, Mardi Gras brought everyone together. People celebrated being alive, being back in their city, and the lives of those who had passed on. That Mardi Gras may not have been the craziest, or the happiest, but it helped many people begin to overcome the travesty.
Mardi Gras is all about tradition, and however most people don't know the background of each float, or every costume, the traditions have been pasted down for years. Mardi Gras is important just like Christmas is important. It's tradition, it's fun, however most people just go along for the presents/beads or the booze.
