Event type: Mardi Gras

Host: The City of Lebeaux

Attire: It's basically wear whatever you want. If your character is in a parade or something, they may be dressed in costumes. There are also some balls going on so the attire for that will be different. I'll get to the different events in a moment.

Date/Time: February 5-9 (the actual date of Mardi Gras is February 9)

Location: Lebeaux

Guests invited: Anyone can go to any of the events

Other info:


 * Idk I thought this would be fun. I've never celebrated this for obvious reasons but I've heard all about the New Orleans one and it sounds great. i'm literally on their website stealing their ideas.
 * There will be a parade every day at 6 PM. On February 9, there will be three parades. One will be at 9 AM, the next at 3 PM, and the last one at 8 PM.
 * So basically I'm just gonna list a few of the events that will be taking place. It will include most of the information above.
 * Btw I'm using this site for attire stuff. If you're like me and have no idea what anything means, this should help.
 * Evidently you're supposed to always wear purple, green, and/or gold when celebrating Mardi Gras.
 * Click here for more information about Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It explains things such as the beads, colors, and masks.
 * There will be other smaller things going on around Lebeaux that I'm just too lazy to list. You can make them up for your characters.
 * As usual, mention whether your character will be attending or not. For this, just mention what events they're going to.
 * For example, you can say that your character Bobby Bob will be attending all Mardi Gras events.
 * Or you can say Joe Bob will be attending smaller events, a few parades, the carnival, and Joubert Ball.
 * Or Bob Joey will only be attending parades.
 * Hopefully that makes sense idk.
 * Feel free to go ahead and start plotting with people! The admins have decided to have events hopefully once a week from now on, so hopefully this will help you with plotting. If you want, you can go ahead and start plotting on this thread or start messaging people. We want this to help everyone come up with new ideas and also new ways to meet characters.
 * If you have any questions, you can ask here or send me a message.
