Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is the day before Ash Wednesday. Also known as Carnival, the Mardi Gras (or Carnival) season runs from Ephiphany to Shrove Tuesday - the day before Ash Wednesday.

The season features various celebrations of excess - with parties, parades and special foods leading up to the Lenten season of fasting and preparation for Easter.

Easter is a movable feast, so the date changes from year to year. But Mardi Gras is always 46 days before Easter.

Mardi Gras will be February 22nd in 2012.
