Fat Tuesday is French for Mardi Gras and culminates with a large celebration on Shrove Tuesday. In the US Mardi Gras dates back to 1703 when the tradition was brought to what is now Mobile, Alabama. The <a href=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/top-glamping-campsites-near-french-alps-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">French explorers<\/a> sent by Louis XIV to defend the then territory of Louisiana in the New World brought the tradition with them. They held the first organized celebration in Louisiana, starting a tradition that stems from the Christian feasts of the Epiphany otherwise known as <em>Three Kings Day.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When the capital of the territory moved to Biloxi and, later to New Orleans, the traditions spread and stuck. While today Fat Tuesday is celebrated primarily in Louisiana, <a href=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/unitedstatesofamerica\/southeast\/florida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida<\/a>, Mississippi, and parts of Texas, the spirit of the holiday has spread all over the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why do we celebrate Fat Tuesday?<\/h2>\n<p>So what does Mardi Gras mean in English? The French-English Mardi Gras translation &#8216;Fat Tuesday&#8217; makes reference to the traditional practice of eating fatty foods before a period of fasting for Lent.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19472\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19472\" style=\"width: 743px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19472 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GlampingHubMardiGrasCostume.png\" alt=\"Mardi Gras Costume\" width=\"743\" height=\"413\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GlampingHubMardiGrasCostume.png 743w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GlampingHubMardiGrasCostume-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GlampingHubMardiGrasCostume-337x187.png 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 743px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 743\/413;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mardi Gras Costume<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"whentocelebrate\">When is Mardi Gras 2023 and more on Mardi Gras meaning<\/h2>\n<p>This year Madri Gras falls on Tuesday, February 21st.\u00a0 It is the culmination of the Epiphany celebration, which starts 12 days after <a href=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/best-christmas-vacations-for-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christmas<\/a> honoring the Magi.
