Whenever anyone goes to The Big Easy— New Orleans— it's nearly always during Mardi Gras. If it isn't actually Mardi Gras, then the Dénouement will occur in a costume/parade storage warehouse. This is probably due to the writers having no sense of geography. This goes for any city or country with a famous festival; for instance, a large number of episodes set in Mexico take place during DiÂa de los Muertos or Cinco de Mayonote although Cinco de Mayo is a minor holiday in Mexico itself and is not even celebrated in some regions, a large number of episodes set in Spain take place in Pamplona during the Fiesta de San Fermin (of "the running of the bulls" fame, complete with seemingly obligatory Thundering Herd of toros), and any episode set in Brazil (thus Rio de Janeiro) or Venice wanders into the Carnival. And while the trope isn't really applicable to New York City, there are still a disproportionate number of stories set in the city during the Feast of San Gennaro, or during the Macy's Parade, or in Times Square on New Year's Eve. San Francisco seemingly hosts an excessive number of Pride Marches; one might think that the entire LGBT community is unemployed, or that they have somehow managed to make parade-marching into a source of income. It's also usually Chinese New Year whenever a show's characters end up in Chinatown (with the characters hiding from danger under a lion train), and cities with large Irish communities — Boston and Chicago, for example — play host to frequent St. Patrick's Day Parades. However, it's never Bon when characters visit Japan, nor is it the 4th of July when characters visit America... Logically, you would think this trope would not apply if the characters are visiting a given area specifically to attend its popular festival, but this is often the only time said area is ever mentioned in fiction, as if people don't have mundane lives in New Orleans. It's worth noting that "Mardi Gras" is French for "Fat Tuesday", and that it originated as a Catholic tradition of feasting before the fasting period known as Lent, which starts at midnight as Fat Tuesday becomes Ash Wednesday. It did not originate in New Orleans, and the American tradition most viewers are familiar with actually originated in Mobile, Alabama. It is part of a much larger worldwide Carnival event, and Wikipedia has a page on it here. Also note: Carnival (which Mardi Gras is the last day of) is a rather long season, with parades spread out over about two months with the various New Orleans area cities (Slidell and Metairie especially). Though this doesn't excuse the trope entirely, there are 40+ parades that run through the season, so having the character(s) visit during a Carnival parade is not as coincidental as it may seem—especially if they visit from January to March—as there are other parades that occur on random weekends. The Krewe of Boo, for instance, runs the week before Halloween. And then you have Southern Decadence, a huge annual gay men's festival and parade, during Labor Day weekend. Though not all parades during the year use the same purple-green-gold coloring, having that distinctive color scheme instantly sets the stage for the rest of the scene. The meteorological equivalent might be It's Always Sunny in Miami, despite being in the single rainiest state in the US. Also see It's Always Spring. The equivalent in local landmarks (rather than events) is the Eiffel Tower Effect. |

One of Agent 47's missions in Hitman: Blood Money is to prevent a politician from being assassinated while taking part in the New Orleans Mardi Gras parade. Problem is, the title card explicitly states that the date for the mission is October 24. In addition, there isn't just one "Mardi Gras Parade". There's over 40. |

Comically played with in the Smiling Friends episode "The Smiling Friends Go to Brazil". It's only after the group land in Brazil that they realize it's Mardi Gras/Carnival. But they don't ever see the festival, it's only relevant because they can't find a vacant hotel after forgetting to book, forcing them to immediately leave. | |

The Princess and the Frog, which is set in New Orleans, primarily takes place during the last three days of Mardi Gras. This is justified for two reasons: one, the event is actually vital to the plot because Lottie is only a princess during Mardi Gras, and two, no one would forgive Disney if they made an animated musical set in The Big Easy and didn't include Mardi Gras. The trope is also downplayed; through most of the plot, nobody even mentions a holiday. | |

Mafia III takes place in a blatant No Communities Were Harmed version of New Orleans, and the opening heist naturally takes place right in the middle of Mardi Gras. Justified, since you'd want to plan a heist on a night where the police would be suitably distracted, but why exactly did the Federal Reserve decide to ship money to its Louisiana branch right in the middle of Mardi Gras? | |

Justified in Westworld. The Outlaw Town of Pariah has the DiÂa de los Muertos going on when the protagonists first arrive there, but since all of Westworld is a giant theme park with the android hosts undergoing preprogrammed narrative loops, the Day of the Dead probably does happen all the time, or at least once every loop. | |

Season 3 hits Day of the Dead in Mexico, Halloween in New Orleans (providing the costumes associated with Mardi Gras, but none of the other imagery), and Guy Fawkes Day in London (though they miss Carnival when they swing by Italy). |

James Bond: Thunderball has a Junkanoo ("Our local Mardi Gras") scene in the Bahamas. They generally have Junkanoo on Boxing Day (Dec 26th), and New Year's, (barring delays) but currently have smaller performances yearly for tourists. Notably, that scene had to be shot at another time of the year, so the film crew convinced the locals to stage an out-of-season Junkanoo for them. Averted in Live and Let Die, of all things. It's actually not Mardi Gras when Bond visits The Big Easy. The parades of people dancing on Bourbon Street are funeral processions. (which were used exactly to avert Mardi Gras given the previous usage of Junkanoo) Moonraker has a Carnival scene in Rio. Of course, the one time Bond visits Siena (Quantum of Solace), it's during the annual Palio di Siena horse-race that completely takes over the city's central plaza. Predictably, Bond gets into a footchase and firefight with a baddie right in the middle of it. The opening sequence of Spectre has Bond strolling through a parade in Mexico City, clad in a costume that indicates that it's Dia de los Muertos. Of note, Mexico City had no tradition of a Dia de los Muertos parade, but staging one for the film was very popular and now they do host such an event each year. |

Cameron and Gonzo visit New Orleans in Going Bovine, but don't spend too much time celebrating. This trope is possibly justified in the possibility that the book is a hallucination - in that case, it would make sense a teenage boy would imagine himself in New Orleans doing the only thing he knows about the place. | |

Averted in David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is set almost exclusively in New Orleans, and features no on-screen Mardi Gras. The movie does, however, feature Hurricane Katrina, which is apparently the other main thing the city is famous for now. |

This is despite the fact that, just a few days ago, the team also attended the Olympic Games Ceremony in Brasil (which is supposed to occur at the start of August) when Day of the Dead isn't celebrated until the beginning of November. | |

Jackie Chan Adventures The bad guys tail Jackie to Pamplona, Spain and spend the episode trying to remember what the city if famous for. They find the answer by getting caught up in the Running of the Bulls. Jackie has to travel to Ireland to remove a bad luck curse, and only after getting there discovers it's St. Patrick's Day. This appears to be a more benign manifestation of the curse, as it leads to people pinching him for not wearing green. Given the show's setting in San Francisco and the main protagonist's Chinese origins it comes as no surprise that several episodes take place at Chinese New Year (including one season finale in China itself). |

In Final Fantasy IX, Zidane's party arrives in Lindblum just in time for the Festival of the Hunt, where various animals (notably a giant warthog-like creature called a Zaghnol) are let loose in the streets for contestants to hunt. By taking down the Zaghnol, you all but guarantee that Zidane will win the competition (and 5000 gil). Or you can hang back and be a spectator instead, thus letting your Lady of War friend win the competition and setting up the means of getting a nice Disc-One Nuke in the process... |

In the Disney Mouse and Duck Comics, this is bound to happen often. For example, in "I paperi di Paperopoli alla conquista del Mitico Ticket" ("The Duckburg Ducks Chasing the Legendary Ticket"), the titular anatids visit Venice during the Carnival, then attend the grand opening of Disneyland Paris the very next day. The Carnival ended on March 3, 1992, the theme park opened on April 12th, but we can forigive the author: how could Romano Scarpa avoid showcasing the most famous event of his own city? | |

In The Pelican Brief, starring Julia Roberts, her character gets caught in the middle of a huge Mardi Gras-like celebration on Bourbon Street, thus adding to the myth that New Orleans = Bourbon St. and there's a Mardi Gras celebration there every day. | |

In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the League is first assembled in London, in a very wet and foggy July as a title-card makes clear; and their first assignment takes them to Venice, during Venice's signature festival, Carnival. This, of course, is the exact same holiday as Mardi Gras or Shrovetide — the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, thus the day on which Catholics overindulge in vices and partying before beginning their Lenten fast. Ash Wednesday is 40 days before Easter, therefore Carnival always occurs in either February or early March. It also doesn't take into account that the Venetian Carnival was outlawed in 1797 by the King of Austria, and wasn't celebrated again until 1979. | |

A few episodes ago the date had been established as November 18, 16 days after the Day of the Dead. That's not the only time the writers got their timeline messed up... |

In the Season 1 episode "Machismo" of Criminal Minds, the BAU team arrive in Mexico on, you guessed it, the Day of the Dead. The spin-off Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders has episodes set in India during Holi and in Spain during the Running of the Bulls (with a Spanish journalist character calling it "Spain's very own Mardi Gras"). At least, this time there is some justification provided by the fact that the show is about a FBI unit that provides help to American citizens abroad, like troubled tourists attending a foreign festival. |

In Robin Hood (1991) (the Patrick Bergin version), the heroes need to gain access to the Big Bad's castle. They use the fact that it is All Fool's Day, and no group observing the festival can be denied admission, to get in and execute their plan. On any other day of the year, presumably, the castle guards would simply reply by riddling the merry men with crossbow bolts. | |

Subverted, on all of shows, NCIS: New Orleans. While it couldn't possibly be Mardi Gras every week (though at least one episode was in fact aired on the actual Fat Tuesday, 2/9/2016), many episodes have either begun or ended with some sort of a celebration. This was actually cited in the Back Door Pilot when Ellie Bishop asks if there's a parade every week. Pride's shrugging response more-or-less confirms this. | |

Thunderball has a Junkanoo ("Our local Mardi Gras") scene in the Bahamas. They generally have Junkanoo on Boxing Day (Dec 26th), and New Year's, (barring delays) but currently have smaller performances yearly for tourists. Notably, that scene had to be shot at another time of the year, so the film crew convinced the locals to stage an out-of-season Junkanoo for them. | |

In the movie version of The Fugitive, Richard Kimble evades capture in Chicago by losing himself in the St. Patrick's Day parade. Funnily enough, this scene wasn't in the original script - Kimble was going to escape the federal building just as the doors closed between him and Gerard instead - but the crew decided to include it into the story when St. Paddy came while shooting was ongoing in Chicago, thus making this a Real Life occurrence of the trope. Parodied in Mad Magazine when a character remarks that "St. Patrick's Day was a month ago! When these Chicagoans party, they just don't stop!" |
