What is Mardi Gras?
This day is also known as fat tuesday (Mardi Gras is actual French for Fat Tuesday) and is the last day of feasting before Lent on Ash Wednsday. Know for the Colorful Puprle Green & Gold Colors as well as Beads, Coins, & Mask symbols.
Some see it as a day of debauchery (which it seems to have become known for).
Being as Mardi Gras is not on a set date, it can be quite elusive. Some years you hear about it, other years its not even mentioned. So here I've included the next few years dates to celebrate, plan your own parties and so forth.

A friend of mine in Sweden noted from reading this lens that they have something like this & they call it "Fettis Tisdagen"
This lens I made for those possibly going to Mardi Gras, The route maps are from 2013, but have the Krew's logo on them and the reason I left them on.
