Lundi Gras: The Day Before the Biggest Party on Earth 🎭
Mardi Gras is famous for its parades, beads, and vibrant celebrations, but did you know that the day before—Lundi Gras—has its own special traditions? Celebrated on the Monday before Fat Tuesday, Lundi Gras (which means "Fat Monday" in French) is a time-honored part of New Orleans’ rich Carnival season.
The History of Lundi Gras
Lundi Gras dates back to the 19th century when riverboat arrivals played a key role in the festivities. In 1874, the tradition of welcoming the King of Carnival, Rex, to the city by steamboat began, creating an exciting prelude to Mardi Gras Day. The tradition faded in the early 20th century but was revived in 1987 as part of an official celebration at Woldenberg Park, complete with concerts, fireworks, and the ceremonial arrival of Rex. Today, it’s a day filled with revelry, music, and anticipation for the grandest day of Carnival.
What Lundi Gras Means to New Orleans
Lundi Gras is more than just another party—it’s a time when locals and visitors come together to soak in the spirit of Mardi Gras before the final day of celebration. It's a moment to revel in the culture, the music, and, of course, the fashion! The city is alive with vibrant colors, bold styles, and accessories that make a statement.
