Mardi Gras when translated from French means "fat Tuesday". It is celebrated on the day before Ash Wednesdays i.e. the day before Lent begins. Lent is a period of 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday where Christians (usually Catholics) fast or restrain from certain luxury goods example sweets. Most English spoken countries call this feast Pancake Tuesday. I stand to be corrected but I don't think one could 'follow' mardi gras. One can only celebrate it. I hope this has answered your question.
