Well, while it would probably be common among entries, a parade theme might work well. On the other hand, if you can capture the energy and colors of the Mardi Gras without relying on that theme, then it might have a good chance to win. In the end, you need to reflect the culture of the event to truly fit with the poster theme. Perhaps something jazzy might be a good entry.
