It's called Mardi Gras. The festival season actually starts on January 6th and continues until Mardi Gras Day (Fat Tuesday) which will be Feb 21st in 2012. Most of the big public activities will take place the last Saturday-Tuesday of each season.
The same day it does every year - Shrove Tuesday, the day before the beginning of Lent, which in 2011 is March 8th.
