MARDI GRAS 2006
Yes, New Orleans is celebrating Mardi Gras this year. Most of the parades started last week, but will be finishing up on Tuesday, February 28, "Fat Tuesday". This day is also celebrated as Shrove Tuesday. Olney, England, has a famous Pancake Race on this day.

Food is a big part of this day before Lent starts. At Mardi Gras celebrations it's King Cake; at Shrove Tuesday celebrations it's Pancakes or Paczki (Punchki).
