Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you -- yes, we said Mobile Mardi Gras was in the Big Apple!  In fact, Mobile Mardi Gras took over Times Square!

Alabama Tourism Department 'Sweet Home Alabama'  took to the streets of NYC for the second year with one-of-a-kind experiences.  They kicked off their activations with a celebration, right in the middle of Times Square as New Yorkers and tourists were thrown a Mardi Gras celebration on a custom-built float.

There were beads, there were MoonPies and there were REVELERS.

The takeover was a big hit and taught thousands of New Yorkers that Mobile is the home of America's Original Mardi Gras!
