Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter Sunday. Easter can fall as early as 22 March and as late as 25 April. Working backwards from 22 March, the earliest Mardi Gras can occur is 3 February. The last time Easter fell on 22 March was 1818. The next time this will happen is 2285. Subsequent years through 4099 with Mardi Gras on February 3 will be 2353, 2437, 2505, 3029, and 3401. Mardi Gras will not occur on February 3 again until some time after 4099.

Note that Easter will fall on 22 March in 2972, 3496, 3564, 3648, and 3716, but those will be leap years and consequently Mardi Gras would fall on 4 February in those years.
