Gulf Coast Mardi Gras Parade

I am a believer that God provides. If a person practiced the art of compassion and care for others, everything will be put in place accordingly. Hubby and I had been planning to see the Mardi Gras this year. I was back from the Philippines in 2011 so, we missed Mardi Gras that year. This time we will be going! When we checked out the hotel rates in Biloxi, it was a bit higher especially for the Mardi Gras season. But, Isle of Capri in Biloxi provides us a complimentary stay in their hotel for three nights. That's an awesome surprise and a blessing in disguise right?Anyway, did you know that Mississippi Gulf Coast hosted more than 20 Mardi Gras parades every year? I saw the Ocean Springs, Pass Christian, Long Beach, D'Iberville, and Biloxi Mardi Gras parades and I'm telling you, the events are so much fun especially when your family and friends are there with you.This event is always an exciting season for the locals and the visitors. The elaborate decoration of the floats brought so much excitement and the crowd loves the treasures thrown at them.
Aside from the trinkets, beads, moon pies, logoed cups, stuffed animals, candies and chocolates, there are other exciting items which on lookers anxiously waiting to catch.I love the D'Iberville and Biloxi Mardi Gras parades because there are so many participants. That would mean more amazing and extravagant floats with "krewes" giving out more beads and more exciting items. Are you coming? I will see you there everyone!
