Mardi Gras celebrations first came to what is now Alabama with the early French explorers, who were led by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville. He recorded the first observance of Mardi Gras in Mobile in his journal in 1699. Men in the camp marked the occasion with feasts, dancing, and a night of masked revelry.
As far as specific celebrations are concerned, the New Orleans Mardi Gras, which is one of the most famous Mardi Gras celebration in the world, originated with the influx of European Catholics into the area during the 18th century.
