Mardi Gras Traditions is about musical parades, food, floats and excitement. During the parades, people use purple, green and gold beads and colorful masquerades.
The term “Mardi Gras” (French word) means “Fat Tuesday”and refers to the Tuesday before Lent. It is called "Fat" or "Great" because it's associated with great food, king cake, and parties. Lent starts the day after Mardi Gras with Ash Wednesday Ingredients
A king cake is a type of cake associated with the Feast of Epiphany celebrated twelve days after Christmas or related with the pre-Lenten celebrations of Mardi Gras.
The serving ritual: With Galette comes the tradition of “drawing the king and the queen”. A trinket (called “la fève”) is hidden in the galette (before baking it, usually inserted inside the frangipane filling). The galette is then cut up and served, and the person who finds the figurine in their slice, becomes honorary king or queen for the day.

¿Qué es Mardi Gras?
El término "Mardi Gras" (palabra francesa) significa "Martes gordo" y se refiere al martes antes de Cuaresma. Se llama "Grasa" o "Gran" porque se asocia con la buena comida y festivales. Mardi Gras es una tradición similar a los Carnavales de Rio, Barranquilla, New Orleans y todos los países que celebran con desfiles de carrozas y bailes tradicionales antes del Miércoles de Ceniza cuando inicia la Cuaresma. Usualmente se hace la Rosca de Reyes o de Mardi Gras/Carnival.El ritual de servir: con la galette llega la tradición de "sortear al rey y a la reina". Se esconde una baratija (llamada "la fève") en la galette (antes de hornearla, suele introducirse dentro del relleno de frangipane). Después se corta la galette y se sirve, y la persona que encuentra la figurita en su trozo, se convierte en rey o reina honorario del día.
