Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday, is a time for celebration in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana. This joyful holiday happens in the weeks leading up to Ash Wednesday, and it is traditionally a chance to let loose one's inhibitions before lent begins. The Mardi Gras celebrations involve large parades, throw beads, masquerade balls, and general celebratory shenanigans. This year, it starts on February 16, and while the parades won't be happening, we can still celebrate with Mardi Gras decorations! Here are 7 festive Mardi Gras wreaths to say Happy Mardi Gras to all who pass your door!
