The last day before Lent every year, the Gaslamp Quarter erupts in an outdoor festival of purple, green and gold, the traditional colors of Carnival. Celebrations include live bands and dancing, Cajun food specials, block parties and flamboyant costumes. The evening’s highlight is the Masquerade Parade that features bands, dancers, floats and thousands of colorful plastic beads that are thrown to the happy revelers.
