  • Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a big event and the 2020 Mardi Gras parade floats will soon fill the streets. They're made by Kern Studios for 50 weeks so they can be used for two weeks to celebrate Fat Tuesday. The company has been in the business for over 80 years and their team of artists work nearly year-round to get the floats in time. We take a tour through Mardi Gras World, their 300,000-square-foot warehouse where its artists and architects build the floats from the ground up.

    Ahh I was there during fall break and saw all the floats and recognized them in the video! I even recognized the tour guide who gave us the tour! I don’t know why I’m commenting this but it’s the first time I see something in a video and I’m like “wow! I’ve been there and met the guy who was interviewed”

    I went and toured the place and it was fun. They had a large king cake for everyone to try before the tour then they explained the whole process. They even have a gift shop.
    Though be careful, I went a few years ago and the gps got confused and went to the old place rather than the one seen in the video

    Hi Insider, can you make video about this?
    Why European countries like Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Spain, Czechia, Russia tend to dub foreign medias while Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan tend to subtitle foreign medias?

      Evan Pangaribuan I don't know if this is everywhere, but in my experience, foreign media is always dubbed in Vietnamese.

    Fact: I live in Mobile, Alabama (mo-beel not mo-byle, if you weren't aware) and we take MG VERY seriously....so seriously in fact that sometimes, if the cable company can't reach the top of telephone poles with the ladders they have on their trucks, they will use MG floats to give themselves an extra lift.

    They cannot repurpose everything, so is the rest trashed or recycled?
