Some fun activities to bring “Nawlins” to your Fat Tuesday Celebration!

Tuesday, March 4 is Mardi Gras in 2025, a day celebrating the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday — the first day of Lent.

So what is all the fuss about?

It’s a feast that marks the last day before the beginning of Lent and the build up to the Easter holiday. In New Orleans, a strong Catholic tradition combines with city-wide hedonism both on the day itself and in the weeks-long build up. Come Ash Wednesday, there’s a collective hangover and the city returns to its regular levels of decadence as crawfish fries replace King Cakes and costumes are returned to their closets until the next time there’s a reason to dress up.

But the event season leading up to Mardi Gras goes on longer than you might think: Yes, the actual day of Mardi Gras is the liveliest Tuesday you’ll likely ever witness, but the Carnival ‘season’ that comes before always begins much earlier. Twelfth Night is always the traditional beginning of Mardi Gras celebrations with the first parades. Events slowly escalate until Fat Tuesday itself, but the celebrations can go on for anywhere from four to eight weeks, depending on when Easter falls.

How to Celebrate in your Community
One way to get your residents into the Mardi Gras spirit is to pass out Mardi Gras beads for them to wear. Whether you are hosting a Mardi Gras lunch with po’ boy sandwiches and gumbo or leading a Mardi Gras parade through your community’s hallways, Mardi Gras beads are an instant way to make the event more festive.
Add in a bit of mystery to your Mardi Gras festivities with masks. Either provide plain masks for residents to decorate as a craft activity using feathers and beads, or provide ready-to-wear feather masks for residents to wear at a fun masquerade party. This easy Make Your Own Mask craft is what we have provided!
If you decide to hire an entertainer for your Mardi Gras event, be sure to pass out bells or kazoos or noisemakers for residents to join in on the fun.
Decorations

Use gold coins, or doubloons as part of your Mardi Gras activities. For instance, use them as party favors or table centerpiece decorations in your Dining Room for your Mardi Gras dinner, or hide them throughout your facility for residents to find during a day-long Mardi Gras Scavenger Hunt.erving bowls (perfect for the Guacamole and Salsa)
Decorate tables and areas with Mardi Gras beads, and anything shiny that is green, gold, and purple.
