No event, we just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday," is a vibrant celebration held on the day before Ash Wednesday, signaling the start of Lent. Known for lively parades, colorful costumes, and indulgent festivities, it is a time of revelry, particularly in places like New Orleans. Participants enjoy music, dancing, and the tradition of throwing beads and trinkets to the crowd. The festive atmosphere provides a lively conclusion before the more reflective period of Lent begins.
