Mardi Gras Day 2026 Falls On February 17

Well Folks it's almost that time again! Mardi Gras Day or Fat Tuesday, as its also called will be on February 17, 2026 this year.

Remember this is the LAST DAY of the Carnival Celebration so get to New Orleans at least a few days before. The next day is Ash Wednesday and start of Lent. So if you wait until then, NO more parties and parades for you until next year! LOL!

The Mardi Gras Girl Posing

My cousin took this shot of me in 2011, when we last went to NOLA for Mardi Gras. I told her I thought I looked like a super hero. She said she thought I looked more like a villain, but if I'm feeling super hero then go with it. :0)

This is probably the craziest picture of me yet. Thought I sent it before, but here it is now. Figured you'd enjoy it.

Want to share any Mardi Gras pics? Keep it clean folks! Share here as a comment.

The Mardi Gras Girl Is Back In Action

Yes Folks, missed the posting of Mardi Gras information for 2025, my apologies. 

Unfortunately I have been sick most of this year. Walking across the street and getting hit by a car will do that to ya! LOL! Can't make this stuff up! Between time in the hospital, then rehab, then physical therapy, I've had a lot of medical issues taking up my time. 

But I'm hanging in there, walking now and still alive! Just wanted to let my followers/audience know that there will be a lot more posts to come, so stay tuned and share this blog.

Appreciate you, take care and be safe.
