THE OFFICIAL COLORS OF MARDI GRAS ARE PURPLE, GOLD, AND GREEN
Purple signifies justice, gold means power, and green stands for faith.
MARDI GRAS IS ALWAYS THE TUESDAY BEFORE ASH WEDNESDAY
Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday” in French. With Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of Lent, a 40 day period of fasting before Easter,
Mardi Gras is the “last hurrah” of sorts, with participants indulging in their favorite fatty foods and drinks before giving them up.
THE FIRST NEW ORLEANS MARDI GRAS PARADE WAS 177 YEARS AGO
New Orleans has been celebrating Fat Tuesday with parades since 1837. The first floats appeared in the parade in 1857.
MASKS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW FOR FLOAT RIDERS
It’s illegal to ride on a float without a mask! The original purpose of the mask was to get rid of social constraints for the day,
Allowing people to mingle with whomever they chose.
* All programing complies with the FHA. Some programs may require support staff, which may need to be arranged with the Personal Wellness and/or Recreation departments prior to the event.
