Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday,” is the grand finale of the Carnival season, celebrated before the start of Lent. Rooted in French Catholic traditions, it has evolved into an extravagant party filled with music, food, and revelry—especially in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Expect elaborate floats, masked performers, and mountains of beads thrown from parade krewes. The famous Bacchus and Zulu parades will roll through the streets, while jazz and brass bands keep the party alive. Don’t forget to indulge in a slice of king cake—whoever finds the tiny baby inside has to host next year’s party!

• Beads Have Meaning! – The traditional Mardi Gras bead colors—purple, green, and gold—actually symbolize justice, faith, and power. These colors were chosen by the Krewe of Rex in 1892 and have been a staple of the celebration ever since!
• It’s Illegal to Ride a Float Without a Mask! – In New Orleans, float riders must wear masks by law! This tradition dates back to the early days of Mardi Gras, allowing people to escape social constraints and celebrate anonymously.

Whether you’re heading to New Orleans or celebrating from home, Mardi Gras 2025 is your chance to embrace joy, music, and culture. So grab your masks, beads, and a hurricane cocktail—laissez les bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)
