The throwing of beads from the Mardi Gras parade floats was started by the Krewes in early 19th century. The beads along with other cheap throw items were thrown from the floats. Those strings of beads are thought to bring good luck for those that caught and wear the beads. Beads became more and more popular during the early 20th century.

While beads are not made of expensive materials, beads of the past were made of higher quality materials. The original glass beads were considered dangerous, so the Krewes began throwing plastic beads. These plastic beads continued to be the most popular today.

Mardi Gras belongs to the City of New Orleans every year!
