The History of Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday," dates back centuries to medieval Europe, eventually making its way to Louisiana with French explorers in the late 17th century. By the 1800s, New Orleans had transformed the celebration into the extravagant spectacle we know today—filled with parades, masked balls, and a spirit of revelry that’s unlike any other!

The Meaning Behind the Colors 💜💚💛

If there’s one thing that defines Mardi Gras (besides the beads and king cake!), it’s the bold and beautiful color scheme of purple, green, and gold. But did you know these colors actually have a deeper meaning?

💜 Purple – Represents justice
💚 Green – Symbolizes faith
💛 Gold – Stands for power

These colors were officially chosen in 1872 by the Rex organization, one of the oldest Mardi Gras krewes, and they’ve been a staple ever since. Each hue reflects the heart of the celebration—bringing people together in a dazzling display of unity, joy, and tradition.
