2. Mardi Gras is a Day

Mardi Gras is often associated with carnivals that go on for days, weeks or even months, and “going to the Mardi Gras” usually means that somebody is going to the whole event. This often means colorful floats, wonderful costumes, lots of music and dancing. Except that’s not quite what Mardi Gras is. Mardi Gras, to be specific, is only one day long, but the festivities have become increasingly longer over time.

Also, a lot of people no longer celebrate the occasion for its original meaning, but go along for the carnival atmosphere instead. Regardless of the reason you celebrate the occasion, there’s no reason why you can’t have a good time.
