Mardi  Gras and Carnival 2011It's starting early this year on january 6th in New Orleans as Carnival gets underway and the celebration picks up speed all the way thru Ash Wednesday, 46 days before Easter.

The first parade rolled just as the Saints head off to the playoffs in Seattle!

While New Orleans gets started a little before the rest of the state, this festive time brings parades and parties and King Cakes all over the state.  It has become so popular that surrounding areas like Galveston, Texas hosted Mardi Gras parades last year.

So check out the schedule, order some King Cakes and join in the fun this year!

Woo hoo. Let the carnival begin. It's like a carnival everyday here in DC....ok, maybe more like a circus. ;-)

Ann,

Wow, the party begins early, and why not, it is important to celebrate regardless of the date.  Have a great weekend.  A
