Mardi Gras traces its origins to medieval Europe and was brought to the United States by French explorers in the early 18th century. The name &#8220;Mardi Gras&#8221; translates to &#8220;Fat Tuesday,&#8221; symbolizing the indulgent feasts held before the start of Lent. It encompasses the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, the day before Ash Wednesday when Lent begins. In Mobile and New Orleans, parties, balls and parades take place throughout the season with the most prestigious ones occurring the closer you get to the grand finale of Mardi Gras Day. Fat Tuesday is a massive celebration of elaborate floats, crowds lining the streets and lots of revelry! Not surprising for the day before Lent&#8217;s 40 days of fasting, right?<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image412938_136247-cb .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image412938_136247-cb size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobile.org\/events\/mardi-gras\/\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DSF3367A_87becf11-c68e-4be0-bdcc-71c7870013a3-1024x518-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-220566\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobile.org\/events\/mardi-gras\/\">Visit Mobile<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Traditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parades and Krewes:<\/strong> At the heart of Mardi Gras are the parades organized by krewes\u2014social clubs that host the events.
