Mamou, LA — So you think you know Mardi Gras? Boobs, beads, and Bourbon Street, right?
Deep within south-central Louisiana’s Cajun country, it’s not like that at all. In fact, it’s a whole lot more traditional, a celebration that includes horseback riding, chasing chickens, and dancing the Cajun Two-Step.
Check out my video for a look at a traditional Courier de Mardi Gras (a traditional Fat Tuesday run), and some drinking and dancing with the inimitable “Tante Sue” at Fred’s Lounge in Mamou!
