Ggw lol
My grandmother was the Queen in 1949. They've listed Armstrong's wife but that's incorrect plus It's in the newspaper however, the Zulu doesn't recognize her. Can you look into that
Celeste Broadway? Did I hear that right? Like the Tulane Broadway?
Great Video!
Mardi Gras as we know it today... Was pioneered in New Orleans... Even the Mardi Gras Christmas Tree decorations
I was on the flag team for Warren Easton and marched thur French Quarter! Great memories
That Arthur Hardy float is a good idea
Alright Mr. Arthur Hardy, it’s that time again. I’m really looking forward to a new set of full videos similar to the 2020 version. See you on 2/2/24 💚💛💜
Great video! I ride in Endymion and I’m also an alumnus of Warren Easton. I’m going shout you out from my float on February 10, 2024! :) Happy Mardi Gras!
2:14 bruh… 😆😆😆
Take that Mobile? You guys keep claiming New Orleans is the first, not Louisiana in general. And what they did was nothing like the “Mardi Gras” of today. Nice try. And since y’all keep claiming New Orleans as the first, take that New Orleans.
So whatever “they did” made Mardi Gras known in the entire country because it’s still celebrated today lol.
Thank You
Your research is lazy. Mardi Gras did not start in New Orleans. In 1699 it started in Mobile AL.
Mobile didn't pioneer floats, Marching bands, music and ball's... All that is New Orleans... The King Cake and all
@@Unsweetened8618 neither did New Orleans. Mardi Gras started in Mobile, AL.
@@Fairland3 Mobile Alabama didn't invent anything, in the Mardi Gras repertoire... Shoe Box Floats, Christmas Tree's, King Cake, House Floats, Music etc... is all our stuff "Tennessee" Moon Pies ain't it. . Mardi first started in Buras, Louisiana in 1699.. Mobilians copied other Southern People's culture's....
98% of Mardi Gras aesthetics was birthed in New Orleans. Not Mobile.. And Alabama is only known for the Civil Rights movement... So keep it pushing... Selma, Montgomery etc...
Look, I love a New Orleans Mardi Gras! Y’all do a great job but the birthplace of Mardi Gras is Mobile Al.
💀🤣🤣🤣
What happened to Mardi gras Author
Mr Kern was quite a visionary in his early years and even today.
Thanks, Mr Hardy for this very interesting piece on the contributions of the Zulu organization. I enjoyed seeing your personal memorabilia at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Besides the Mardi Gras parades, the Krewe of Boo parade, and the St. Patrick's parades, are there any other big parades (with floats) in New Orleans?
Occasionally the city will host a parade for a winning team event, like when the Saints won the Superbowl. Parades take a lot of effort and coordination with law enforcement and emergency response during the parade and sanitation after the parade. As you can see from our videos, more and more "smaller" parades, ones without the big floats, are growing in popularity during carnival. There are other parades such as the Irish-Italian parades and Super Sunday on both the East and West banks of the Mississippi, that are outside of Carnival season. Keep your eyes open and you can often catch a Second Line parading somewhere in the Big Easy.
Mardi Gras is the annual Carnival celebration in Mobile, Alabama. It is the oldest official Carnival celebration in the United States, started by Frenchman Nicholas Langlois in 1703 when Mobile was the capital of Louisiana. Mardi Gras originates in Mobile, Alabama.
Who's on first? That's what I'm asking. What's the guy's name? What's on second. I'm not asking who's on second, I'm asking who's on first? Yes. Yes is on first? No, who's on first. That's what I'm asking. What's on second.
Mardi Gras originated in Buras, Louisiana of Plaquemines Parish on March 3,1699 by Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville. Called it Pointe du Mardi Gras. Some called it Bayou Mardi Gras
Mobile didn't pioneered the concepts of floats and ball's. That's what's being said... Purple, Gold & Green is New Orleans... Y'all followed and copied
Are you in any shape or form related to the burger chain?
Burger chain?
If you guys were news broadcasters everyone would be a lot more informed. Keep up the great work

Such a good video you are so funny
thank you so much! :)
You're welcome!
🃏 🧝♀️ 💥 💎 music 🎵 heals 🌟
Can we get these videos again this year PLEASE 🙏🏽
Thank you for the request. We are gathering material to do just that for 2023.
Mardi Gras started in Mobile Alabama, we are the orignal city of Mardu Gras! We have Joe Cain day
Do you really want to put Mardi Gras in Mobile up against Mardi Gras in New Orleans? Come experience it yourself. Come see all of our 56 parades in February.
@arthurhardysguidetomardigr9492 I have experienced both! Mobile is safer and more family oriented. So yes, I would prefer Mobile's 😊
Everything that's consider Mardi Gras, came from New Orleans... Outside of the Moon Pie, which came from Tennessee...😂😂😂😂😂 Even decorated your tree's and house came from New Orleans...
@@arthurhardysguidetomardigr9492 you must provide accurate history, Mardi Gras started in Mobile Alabama and it's an entire Museum dedicated to it. I seen that place with my own eyes on my way to New Orleans, currently. Tell the truth. It's not about of it's better than because the people don't think like that when we're all from the same culture.
Xdc joy paper
Joy yeah love Joy roviris
I would like to see a documentary that tells the story of individual Krews large and small, and how lights changed the whole float game (or did it)
I’m looking forward to this again starting this Friday (2-18-22) 💜💚💛
I would love to hear the story of the fonz as king Bacchus!
Outstanding
Are you gonna do updates for this year Parade season ?
Enjoyed the video. Thanks Arthur
I cannot wait! 2022 will be my first ride in a parade and I’m SO looking forward to it. :)
Arthur that is a wonderful tribute float prop!!!! Hoping to see you in person this year to get my magazine signed again at the end of Rex!! My magazine for 2021 has a horrible spine on it! Someone got me a copy from a grocery store and it’s completely off centered :-( doesn’t match my other years. Would have to show ya!
Definitely started in Mobile Al 🤦🏽♂️
New Orleans is the best though
The Mardi Gras originated in mobile ala
Mardi Gras as we know it today. Was pioneered in New Orleans. Beads, Cups, Floats, Color, Marching Band, Ball's etc... Even Mardi Gras Christmas Tree's, is N.O. stuff
This nice video
Thank you for starting this channel- I love seeing the "behind the scenes" of it all - how it's all made - inside the dens - the floats being built - the props - the flowers etc - thanks again
Glad you enjoy it!
Always amazing floats
Amazing and fun - Mardi Gras is always so creative and colorful- love it
Amazing - that original invitation to join Comus - I wonder if it's the only one left
I love these kinds of parades - all about fun and creativity
He's seen and done it all
I hope Mardi Gras can make a big come back in 2022
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for sharing! If you don't already i'd love to see some specials on the women Krewes and those honoring the Native americans. super interesting. loved my visit a few years ago. can't wait to go back :)
Thank you for the suggestions. We have a video of the Mardi Gras Indian Museum here on this page and that is the closest event honoring Native Americans we have in New Orleans. A special on the all female Krewes is needed as more and more entertain the crowds.
Hail Cleo 💜💚💛
How come tHouma’s Mardi Gras is never covered?
We live in New Orleans and there are so many parades to cover here it is difficult to get out of town. The tiny team that puts these videos together (Arthur and his photog) also have other work to do the day of the parades, especially on Fat Tuesday. Which parade or parades, if we could go on one day, would you suggest?
This really should have been extended.
It has been extended through Fat Tuesday
I love your stories Mr. Hardy!I buy your Mardi Gras Guide every year!Can you make a feature, or upload the Insight about the police strike of 1979!
