Tourists are invited to head south to celebrate Mardi Gras. But it’s Rocky Point (Mexico’s Puerto Peñasco), as well as New Orleans, that’s hosting a long weekend of fun. With a Mexican twist, the celebration will feature less well-known traditions, including the execution of the “Bad Humor” man and the crowning of the Jester King, both traditions from Veracruz, Mexico. But Americans will recognize the crowning of the Mardi Gras Queen, three days of parades, several concerts and a street festival with rides, shows and dances. There will be a Jazz parade Tuesday 8th.
