Laissez le bon temps rouler! Let the good times roll! Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, is a traditionally debaucherous celebration marking the last days before the Lenten season begins. The holiday is marked by the bold colors of purple, gold and green and is celebrated with elaborate masqued balls and parades.

Create your own Mardi Gras with our idea for a Mardi Gras Cajun Creole and Costume Party and learn the history behind the colorful and delicous King Cake party tradition. Or throw a Mardi Gras themed Bourbon Street Jazz Brunch and have everyone yelling: "Throw me something, Mister!"
