The Estate of New Toulouse will be having their Third Annual Mardi Gras celebrations from Sunday, March 6th, 2011 through Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Their actual Mardi Gras Parade is on Sunday, March 6 from 11:00am - 1:00pm SLT.
Like New Orleans, New Toulouse has "Krewes", or teams, that work together to create floats and that ride them together during the parade. A Krewe can be anywhere from two to five people. Krewe members toss items to the parade audience and shout to them, as well as to the Krewes on other floats.
The citizens of New Toulouse and other sims are busy preparing their floats, and the parade promises to be the best yet! Float entries are accepted until noon on March 5, so if you are inclined.. contact Estate Owner Gabrielle Riel as soon as you can.
The full Mardi Gras schedule follows.
