Ours is not as big and wild but more family oriented.
New Orleans does have more purple though!
My wife and I while at an awards conference spent some time with a couple from New Orleans who explained that there are two Mardi Gras's in New Orleans The one that is widely advertised at the French Quarter for tourist and then another for the families in the area.
