Did you know that Mardi Gras had been celebrated in America for over 100 years by the time Governor Henry Warmoth made it an official holiday? In 1875, the governor made it official, creating Fat Tuesday as a legal Louisiana holiday.
City Hall is celebrating this Mardi Gras season with the fabulous "Mardi Gras Morning" by artist Lauren Marie Breaux, located in their second floor gallery. “This exhibit shines a light on my favorite part of Mardi Gras, Tuesday morning", tells Breaux.
Artwork is available for purchase so make sure to come in and grab something festive and fun for yourself!
