Ready for Mardi Gras? Here are 5 local spots to celebrate through March 4

Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday.”

While New Orleans has made Mardi Gras famous, it actually originated in Europe as a way to prepare for Lent before Easter. It’s celebrated on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. This year, Mardi Gras is on March 4. It’s now a day of festivities, celebrations, parades, good food (think gumbo, beignets and jambalaya), and more. How did it become Fat Tuesday?
According to history.com, “traditionally, in the days leading up to Lent, merrymakers would binge on all the rich, fatty foods—meat, eggs, milk, lard and cheese—that remained in their homes, in anticipation of several weeks of eating only fish and different types of fasting.” So, how will you celebrate Mardi Gras? Here are a few area events:
