Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: In addition to New Orleans' Mardi Gras, look into Carnival.

The Carnival festival is held before Lent, in the heavily Roman Catholic countries of Europe and South America. Especially elaborate festivals occur in Rio de Janeiro and Venice (the Carnival of Venice has been going on for hundreds of years--check out the masks & costumes!). Source(s):
