For instance, Mardi Gras is held in New Orleans every year and attracts upwards of a million people every year. In 2017 alone, roughly 47,234 people attended the Mardi Gras King’s Parade according to researchers at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (TheAdviser.com). Overall, 1.4 million people attend the two-week-long event on average every year (CNN.com). Mardi Gras has to do greatly with the Roman Catholic religion and its practices. The religious investment attracts a great amount of people around the country, while just the idea of a two-week long event attracts others. The event is actually a state-wide holiday in Alabama, Florida, and eight parishes in Louisiana (CNN.com).
