New Orlean’s very own Mardi Gras has been an annual event in the USA which has captured the hearts of millions. Party enthusiasts and regular Joe's alike flock to this famed phenomena for its culture, experience and of course, the beads. The festival spans weeks and includes parades, balls, and events that are unlike any other. Regardless of any rationale, one may have to journey all the way to Louisiana, here is a list of ten convincing reasons why adding this notch to your bucket list is an absolute must.

Warm Weather

The first thing that drives northern travelers to Mardi Gras is the warm weather. Mardi Gras typically occurs over the period of a few weeks ranging from January, February, and March and is the perfect time of year for snowbirds to travel south. Average temperatures range from 64° to 76° and present an opportunity to escape the snow and ice, even if it is only for a few days. Replace shoveling the driveway and frozen toes with vibrant streets and sunshine this upcoming winter.
