Mardi the Mask
Join the Celebration
Mardi wants to know what people are celebrating and why. She’ll watch the parade, try the festival food, listen to the music, and ask about the traditions behind what she sees.
She likes costumes and street parties, but she doesn’t treat every festival as interchangeable. Mardi reads about the event beforehand so she knows what is meaningful, what is just for fun, and how visitors are expected to take part.
