Other places directing college in the Greater New Orleans Metro Area also have celebrations; notably the suburb of Metairie, Louisiana, La Place and Chalmette, Louisiana has large parades. Without the restrictions on commercial ties directing college to parades of Orleans Parish, there is much advertising and trademark placements on the parades in Metairie. Metairie parades also tend to be more family-oriented, and include even a Children's parade. Houma, Louisiana hosts a significant Mardi Gras directing college celebration. In parts of the Cajun country of southwestern Louisiana, the traditional Courir du Mardi Gras (French - Running of the Mardi Gras) is still run, sometimes by maskers on horseback led by "Le Capitaine" who gather ingredients for making the communal meal (usually a gumbo). The townspeople will gather in costume and move from home to home requesting ingredients for the night's meal.
