Traditionally, Mardi Gras (which is actually French for "Fat
Tuesday"), refers to the day before Ash Wednesday. It's a time when
people celebrate by indulging in everything they'll be giving up for the season
of Lent, leading up to Easter. Depending on where you live, Mardi Gras
celebrations can extend for months. For example, in Mobile, Alabama, the
festivities kick in during the month of November. There are countless
social events and parades to attend, and the party continues up until Ash
Wednesday. In other parts of the country, Mardi Gras is a three-day
celebration leading up to Lent.
