Just to let everyone know how Mardi Gras really works.

This year Fat Tuesday is February 23rd.  It is the day before the beginning of Lent and Ash Wednesday

It is the last day of the Mardi Gras season for this year.

Fat Tuesday is the biggest day of parades, parties, balls and fun before the repentance of Lent.

On Ash Wednesday, there is a period of 40 days where there are no balls, parades or fun.  It all begins again after Easter.
