Revellers take to the streets of New Orleans for Mardi Gras
The city of New Orleans, Louisiana, celebrates Mardi Gras - or Fat Tuesday - with boisterous street parties and spectacular, choreographed parades.

Carnival celebrations around the world peak Tuesday for Mardi Gras, which at midnight ushers in Lent, the period of fasting and self-denial before Easter Sunday. Until then, revellers around the world cut loose in a cultural kaleidoscope that ranges from marching jazz bands in New Orleans, quirky Old World traditions, and Rio de Janeiro's wild street parties and Sambadrome parades.


Revellers are hitting the streets of New Orlean's French Quarter for Mardi Gras celebrations, marking Fat Tuesday, also called Shrove or Pancake Tuesday, an annual party held before the Christian period of Lent.


Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., has been named an injury fill-in for the French Open, which starts Sunday. Several players, including 10th-ranked Mardy Fish, have withdrawn from the tennis tourney.
