The Courir de Mardi Gras, which is Cajun French for “Mardi Gras Run,” originated in 15th-century France. Along with mad accordion skills and a few good jambalaya recipes, the Courir is just one of many things that the Cajuns’ French ancestors brought with them from the Old World. It all began in the 1400s and 1500s in France, which was under a feudal system at the time. The rich French nobles used to tax the heck out of the poor peasants who worked the land just to survive.

This isn’t the parade you think you know and it isn't in New Orleans — deep in Cajun country, Mardi Gras is a centuries-old, muddy, booze-soaked courir where costumed locals on foot and horseback sing, chase chickens, and go house to house collecting gumbo ingredients. It’s wild, chaotic, hilarious — and above all, a raw celebration of community, generosity, and tradition before Lent.
