Many forms of the Mardi Gras festival are celebrated throughout the world. From the Carnival celebrations of Rio and Venius to the Mardi Gras festivals of Paris and New Orleans it is a time of the year when many corners of the World revel in merriment.
Mardi Gras, in French meaning "Fat Tuesday" came to the United States from Paris where it has been celebrated since the Middle Ages.
