New Orleans' Mardi Gras tradition goes back to celebrations by masked student revelers around 1827. Many parades, including Mardi Gras, feature "floats," which are moving cars or large displays decorated with fresh flowers or crepe paper by local groups and schools. Musical groups march and play their instruments, and military troops also often participate. In the Charro Day Parade ("Charro" is a Mexican cowboy in a special costume), a fiesta parade in Brownsville, Texas, children wear traditional Mexican costumes, march, and sing special songs. In this picture, you can see children wearing sombreros (wide hats) and you can listen to the song they sing, "La Rancherita," which means "a little girl on a ranch." ... [Read More]
Fiesta San Antonio
In 1891, a group of San Antonio women decided to hold an event to honor the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. Rounding up horse-drawn carriages and decorating them with flowers, the ladies circled the Alamo and pelted one another with blossoms in a mock "Battle of the Flowers." The simple "flower parade" evolved into an annual event and one of America's great festivals. This ten-day celebration of the city's richly diverse heritage and culture is held every April. The largest, oldest, and longest-running festival of its type in Texas, it draws more than three million people to its carnivals, parades, pageants, military ceremonies, exhibits, concerts, dances, sporting events, and food feasts. The project is documented with color slides and photographs, an official program from the 1999 Fiesta, and the book A Century of Fiesta in San Antonio. ... [Read More]
