Mardi Gras, the not to be missed party, can be difficult to plan for because it's not on the same day every year. Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)is always the day before Ash Wednesday and because that's tied into Easter, it changes every year. Here are the dates for future years.

  • Mardi Gras 2013 is Feb.12
  • Mardi Gras 2014 is Mar.4
  • Mardi Gras 2015 is Feb.17
  • Mardi Gras 2016 is Feb. 9
  • Mardi Gras 2017 is Feb. 28

The Parade Schedule

The parades start about two weeks before Mardi Gras Day. Get this year's schedule, and play your trip.
