Anyone here ever been? When does it start and where in Mamou does it take place (all over town?)

Planning to go down and grab some great photos of the chaos!!!

I did search on line, info is not too clear.

I went with some buddies for a few years straight in high school. They told me I had a hell of a time.

Mamou is very much adult. The Mardi Gras (the horse riders) are very roudy and drink a lot of beer. The chicken chase can be a little gross when the chickens are caught (they may be ripped apart when "shared" by two or more Mardi Gras. Not sure how you follow this in Mamou. If you would like a calmer more family friendly experience I would suggest the Tee Mamou-Iota Mardi Gras. They do not ride horses but instead all ride in a trailer. They do chase chickens, dance and sing. One good place to view this is Frey Farms at 8:00 AM on Tuesday morning. The Mardi Gras in Iota has bands, food and activities for children. Check out the American Legion Hall of authentic Cajun Music and the children's band stand. The Mardi Gras usually come into town around 3:00 PM.
