Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is a celebration that takes place on Earth, most significantly in New Orleans.

Around 2350, Benjamin Sisko helped his sister Judith construct a robotic skeleton float for the Mardi Gras he participated in before joining Starfleet Academy. The float later crashed against a balcony railing on Bourbon Street and Sisko blamed his sister for the malfunction, although she believed he knew it was his fault for overloading the servos. 

In 2376, after hearing of the Wa festival from Pifko Gaber, Jake Sisko recalled Mardi Gras and stories about it featuring Joseph Sisko's great-grandfather.
