I don't think it's specifically that.one of the things in the marketing that is a pet peeve but they say “season” after Mardi gras every time. As she celebrates “mardi gras season”
In this vein, the party is never described in the dialogue as anything other than a party. What’s the party for and Mardi gras isn’t mentioned at all. Are they afraid of the Mardi Gras connotations?
Mardi Gras is only one day a year but in NOLA, the "season" lasts for
The parade schedule, for instance, begins about
In addition to the parades, where a single krewe usually sponsors each one, those krewes (social clubs) also have all their own private events that go on at various points through the month and there is a ton of overlap there when it comes to resources and member involvement.
There are a lot of locals events that take place well outside the traveled tourist paths (and where tourists aren't particularly welcomed) that happen for that whole month, too.
It's basically just way too much to cram into a single day or even a single week even though many tourists only come for the final week or final couple of days of activity.
