It's time to party at the Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras is a huge celebration which is held on the last day before Lent in the Christian calendar.
Whilst in the UK this day is celebrated with the rather sedate Pancake Day - or to give it is proper name, Shrove Tuesday - in many parts of the world there is a huge celebration. The most famous of these is the one held in New Orleans USA. The celebrations include parades with floats, jazz bands and balls. It is traditional to dress up in colourful costumes and wear masks at these events.
The date of Mardi Gras varies depending on the date that Easter falls, so while it usually takes place in February, it can take place in early March.
