Where is Mardi Gras celebrated?

Like many other pagan traditions, it was eventually transformed into a Christian tradition, and is currently celebrated around the world, especially in areas with a large Catholic population. In the United States, New Orleans has the largest and most well-known Mardi Gras parades. Rio de Janero in Brazil is regarded as having the wildest Carnival celebrations in the world, and Venice’s Mardi Gras celebrations trace themselves back to pagan times.
