Mardi Gras is an annual festival marking the last day before the season of Lent. During Lent, many people give up poor habits such as unhealthy foods or drinking alcohol, and Mardi Gras – which is French for Fat Tuesday – is a big last hurrah for people to get their fill of excess.
New Orleans is known for its wild Mardi Gras celebration where traditions range from wearing costumes and masks, parades, and dancing.
