Celebrating Mardi Gras



MARDI GRAS


Madi Gras is a carnival who begins on or after Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. In many areas, the term "Mardi Gras" has come to mean the whole period of activity related to the celebratory events, beyond just the single day. In some US cities, it is now called "Mardi Gras Day" or "Fat Tuesday"

This carnival is celebrated in several places around the world. New Orleans is one of the most famous places where people celebrate mardi gras. During every night of carnival, families celebrate the traditional New Orleans custom of placingearly along the Boulevard St. Charles to watch the passing floats. They call it the "city thatnever sleeps" because of his mood. The "Fat Tuesday" is the day that the celebration reached its climax.
