	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/New Orleans Mardi Gras
		Mardi Gras was brought to Louisiana by early French settlers.
		The formal end of Mardi Gras arrives with "the Meeting of the Courts," a term describing the ceremony at which Rex and His Royal Consort, the King and Queen of Carnival, meet with the King and Queen of the Mistick Krewe of Comus, New Orleans' oldest active Carnival organization.
		Mardi Gras is composed of various events such as balls for social clubs in the New Orleans Area, but the main event is simply a street festival, open to the public.

	New Orleans Mardi Gras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1991 the New Orleans city council passed an ordinance that prohibited spending city funds on police and sanitation for any event held on public streets by carnival organizations that imposed racial segregation in their bylaws.
		Mardi Gras is a traditional holiday, so there is no such thing as an official Mardi Gras product or sponsor, any more than there can be, say, an official sponsor of Christmas.
		While standards of what is considered indecent exposure might be relaxed during Mardi Gras, and women showing their breasts to encourage receiving beads is documented since the 1960s, the practice was mostly limited to tourists in the upper Bourbon Street area.
