All the best places to celebrate popular march holidays like mardi gras and st Patrick’s day.

mardi gras (march 4)

originally about eating fatty food before lent, this holiday has now turned into a reason to party! If you are looking to stay in the U.S. New orleans is the place to be. with the streets lined with people throwing beads, and eating king cake it is an experience you do not want to miss.

The more extravagant option, but worth it is rio de janeiro, brazil. with 2 million people, live music, dancers, and the official parade at the sambódromo (be sure to buy tickets in advance!) it makes for an unforgettable celebration.
