When is Mardi Gras, 2016? Well, officially "Fat Tuesday" falls on February 9th, 2016, but since this is a much longer celebration with parades almost daily, you may want to head down to New Orleans, LA early!
Check out the "Mardi Gras"" website for info on parade schedules, history events and more. Each year the Mardi Gras season starts on twelfth night (after Christmas) and 47 days before Easter. This is always the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It is based in Christianity but open to all faiths. If you haven't ever been, you should go. Put this on your "bucket list" to see at least once in your lifetime. Put on your Mardi Gras colors, and get down there! {Purple stands for justice, gold is for power and green is for faith.} It's "WOW"!
