The word "Mardi Gras" means "Fat Tuesday" in the French language. Celebrations include festivals, parades, dancing and feasting before the fasting starting on Ash Wednesday Days to Mardi Gras 2026. Tuesday, February 17th is day number 48 of the 2026 calendar year with 11 months, 16 days until Mardi Gras 2026. Upcoming Mardi Gras Dates March 5, 2019 – February 25, 2020 – February 16, 2021 – March 1, 2022 – February 21, 2023 – February 13, 2024 – March 4, 2025 – February 17, 2026 Mardi Gras, like Christmas, is a whole season - not just one day. That being said, Fat Tuesday is the biggest day of celebration, and the date it falls on moves around. You'll find that Fat Tuesday can be any Tuesday between Feb. 3 and March 9. Because Easter can fall on any Sunday between March 23 and April 25, and Mardi Gras is always 47 days before Easter, Zulu and Rex can roll on any Tuesday between Feb. 3 through March 9. New Orleans weather on Mardi Gras Day can be unpredictable as well. It can be shorts weather in early February and you might very well need a coat in March. Ten years later, the first recorded New Orleans Mardi Gras parade took place, a tradition that continues to this day. In 1857, a secret society of New Orleans businessmen called the Mistick Krewe of Comus organized a torch-lit Mardi Gras procession with marching bands and rolling floats, setting the tone for future public popular celebrations This year’s Carnival season lasts 58 days, from 12th Night on Jan. 6 to Mardi Gras on March 4. But next year, Mardi Gras falls on Feb. 17. That means celebrations in 2026 will pack into just 43 Mardi Gras is 47 days before Easter Sunday and falls on Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Easter next year is on April 9, the first Sunday after the spring equinox or the Paschal full moon. It means that 47 days before that is February 21, which makes it the Mardi Gras 2023 observance. Mardi Gras next year falls on March 4, about two weeks before St. Zulu parades through New Orleans on Mardi Gras on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
