Mardi Gras is a festive time celebrated in many southern states, most notably in New Orleans, coming to the Big Easy by way of its French heritage, in 1699. Early explorers celebrated this French Holiday on the banks of the Mississippi River.

Throughout the years, Orleanians have added to the celebration by establishing "krewes" (organizations) which host parades and balls throughout the area. Carnival quickly became an exciting holiday for children and adults alike.

Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday" and of course is celebrated on that day of the week. The date can fall between February 3 and March 9 depending on the Lunar calendar, used by the Catholic Church to determine the date of Easter; Mardi Gras is always 47 days before Easter Sunday.
The official colors for Mardi Gras are purple, green, and gold. These colors were chosen in 1872 by the King of Carnival, Rex. He chose these colors to stand for the following:

•Purple represents justice •Green stands for faith •Gold symbolizes power

The Mardi Gras season begins on January 6 and continues until Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of Lent.

We decided that a few partying days a year aren’t enough, so we started this page. You’re invited to join in with any thoughts or opinions you might have on just about any topic under the sun or moon. You’ll find that we’re a lively and diverse bunch who like to talk. Without writing a Manhattan Yellow Pages sized book of rules, we only ask that you keep things cool and sane and civil. OK? Now, who’s thirsty!?
