Mardi Gras Around the World

Mardi Gras: Carnaval and CrepesVenice – Venise


Today is Mardi Gras (literally means Fat Tuesday)! In the US, the New Orleans celebration culminates on Mardi Gras. In France, much like for Halloween in the US, children are going to wear their costumes and parade. They are counting on enjoying many crepes and some beignets too (carnaval beignet – beignets de carnaval).

And how about other places in the world? In other countries, carnavals are also blossoming in February so let’s take a quick tour.
