Celebrating Mardi Gras Around The Miami Valley

By

Fat Tuesday is the traditional name for the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in  the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant churches. Fat Tuesday is more commonly known as Mardi Gras, which is simply Fat Tuesday in French. It’s called Fat Tuesday because it’s the last day that many people eat meat and fatty foods before Lent begins.

Laissez les bons temps rouler

The Cajun French phrase translated to “let the good times roll!”
