Mardi Gras Carnival begins!
The name Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday
Mardi Gras changes dates each year because it is connected to Easter, which also changes dates each year. Mardi Gras always falls exactly 47 days before Easter.
This year, Mardi Gras falls on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Each year, Carnival begins on January 6, or the Feast of the Epiphany in the Christian faith. The season ends on Mardi Gras, which is always the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of the Lenten season in the Christian faith.
That means that this year, Carnival runs from January 6 to March 1, 2022.
