If You Think Mardi Gras Is Crazy Now, Just Wait Til You See These Vintage Pictures

By  | 

Mardi Gras took place earlier this week (as did Carnival, depending on where you are in the world). Mardi Gras marks the final day before the 40-day Christian fasting season of Lent, which ends on Easter Sunday in April. Even if you”re not of the Christian faith, Mardi Gras is still a great experience for everyone.

Mardi Gras traditionally meant dressing up in elaborate costumes and taking to the streets for an evening of celebration. However, these days, the costumes have largely been forgotten. That”s probably a good thing, though. When you see these vintage Mardi Gras photos, you”ll see just how awfully scary the costumes were.
