 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - The terms "Mardi Gras" (mâr′·dē grâ), "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season", in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Epiphany and ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which started on Ash Wednesday. Popular practices included wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, sports competitions, parades, etc. CLICK HERE for New Orleans Parade Schedules  CLICK HERE for Parade Schedules CLICK HERE for New Orleans Accommodations CLICK HERE for Parade Tickets & Routes CLICK HERE for Mardi Gras Costumes & Masks CLICK HERE for kids books on Mardi Gras CLICK HERE for New Orleans Famous King Cake CLICK HERE for Community Coffee from Louisiana #travel |

 New Orleans Famous King Cake The Mardi Gras season begins on January 6 and continues until Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. During this time of year, one of the most beloved traditions in New Orleans is that of the King Cake. On the Christian calendar, the twelfth day after Christmas is known as "Epiphany", "Twelfth Night", or "Kings Day." It is the day the gift-bearing Magi visited the baby Jesus, and is celebrated with its own unique rituals. A king cake (sometimes rendered as kingcake) is a type of cake associated with Carnival traditions. It is popular in Carnival season in the area of the United States which celebrates Carnival ranging from Mobile, Alabama to southeastern Texas, centered on New Orleans. The cakes have a small trinket inside, and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations.
