Entertainers say interacting with the community is what makes events like these so special.
'Kids are my favorite because they'll run up to you, just drop their jaw and say, how are you doing that? And you can say, a wizard gave me powers or whatever. And they're my biggest fans. And so I really love doing that for the public. You know, it's one of those jobs where I go home at the end of the day, and I feel like I actually made a little bit of a difference in somebody's life,' Professional juggler Morgan Peace said.
The end of this year's Mardi Gras will be capped off with a firework show at 7:15 Saturday night.
