Parade Quality Jester Mascot Costume

If you can't be the king of the carnival Krewe, be its jester. The Parade Quality Jester Mascot Costume comes with a jumpsuit, over-the-head mask and purple boot covers. The mask features an oversized white clownish face with red around the lips, red circles on the cheeks and a purple diamond-shape across each eye. It had an attached large hat with gold trim and three points, each accented at the tip with a pompom. In a parade, this large mask will make it easier for you to be seen by onlookers. Mardi Gras parades were first held in Europe in medieval times. In 1703, America celebrated its first Mardi Gras in an area that is now part of Louisiana and by 1830, New Orleans held street processions that evolved into the elaborate parades seen today.
