Mardi Gras & Oracle Lighting: A Celebration of Brightness and Innovation
Mardi Gras isn’t just a festival—it’s a spectacle of color, energy, and pure excitement that defines New Orleans culture. As a Louisiana-based company, Oracle Lighting thrives on that same bold spirit, bringing innovation and eye-catching illumination to the world, just like the dazzling floats and glowing streets of Carnival season.
Rooted in centuries of tradition, Mardi Gras—French for Fat Tuesday—has deep cultural and historical significance. It marks the last day of indulgence before the fasting season of Lent, blending influences from French, Spanish, and African traditions, all of which shaped Louisiana’s rich heritage.
The celebration made its way to North America in 1699, when French explorers Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville and Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville landed near what is now New Orleans. Arriving on Fat Tuesday, they named the spot Pointe du Mardi Gras, unknowingly planting the seeds of a tradition that would grow into a world-famous event. By the 18th century, masked balls, street parades, and lively festivities had become a staple of New Orleans life.
From bead-throwing and elaborate masks to the legendary King Cake, Mardi Gras has evolved into a global phenomenon, drawing millions to the streets of New Orleans every year. While its heart beats strongest in Louisiana, the spirit of Mardi Gras is celebrated far and wide—wherever people embrace the joy of revelry and tradition.
