Tuesday is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is the last day of celebration in cities that celebrate Carnival , like New Orleans. It marks the beginning of Lent.
I had the Mardi Gras experience once many years ago. It was fun, but something I wouldn't do again.Too many VERY drunk and crazy people situated in one place.
Mardi Gras occurs from around the time of the Epiphany to Ash Wednesday. It is a "season" not just a day. Mardi Gras isn't just about food. It is about masks, dances, contests, and dancing. It is a time of complete revelry before the Lenten season begins.
There are other cities in the US and of course the world that celebrate Mardi Gras or carnival season. There are other countries of course who celebrate! Especially Brazil.
There are so many ways to celebrate, but at least make sure you have a great desert with dinner!!
