Carnival is a festival traditionally held in Roman Catholic and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox societies. The Brazilian Carnaval is the longest celebration today, but many cities and regions worldwide celebrate with large, popular events. These include the Carnevale of Venice, Italy, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and many others. In the United States, the famous Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama, date back to French and Spanish colonial times.
