"This is now widely considered by all scholars to be the very first organized celebration of Mardi Gras in a city, of the New World."
Has there ever been an organized Mardi Gras Celebration? Organization is the antithesis of the spirit of Mardi Gras. Organized = dull. Spontaneous = fun. I've heard the Mardi Gras celebrations in Mobile are very dull compared to those in Louisiana, so that may be the reason.
