I didn't know that they celebrate Mardi Gras, day before Ash Wednesday (Popelecni streda), in the US. I thought that the largest and most famous festivals are just in Brazil... However, it's a big surprise that they have this tradition in the US, too. Especially in the South - the largest festival of Mardi Gras (also called Fat Tuesday) is in New Orleans. Thousands of people come every year watch this huge unpaid show ;) Go here and see some crazy pictures from this festival.
I didn't know about this holiday yesterday. My friends just told me today is a party day and there are some specially offers in the bars. So we went to Lincoln bars. You can notice that there is something unusual happening because of special decoration in bars and that everybody wears the necklaces or feathers boa or both.
So, that's the celebration which take place in Nebraska and most of other American states. Old tradition with a new image...
