March 4 is Fat Tuesday and to help us celebrate Mardi Gras our friends from Torrance Bakery brought for us their traditional King Cake in multiple flavors, along with their King Cake donuts and King Cake cookies.

King cakes, parties and themed drinks and foods are coming to Arlington and Falls Church for Fat Tuesday next week. From purple, green and gold-covered sweets to New Orleans cuisine and church pancake suppers,

Watch as Mardi Gras celebrations take place throughout New Orleans on Tuesday, March 4, otherwise known as Fat Tuesday.

There was never any question that Mardi Gras would go forward after the New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans. But some revelers felt at least a hint of trepidation.

Thousands of revelers in outlandish costumes will fill the streets of New Orleans as the city celebrates Mardi Gras Day

Mardi Gras gives people the opportunity to celebrate before the Lenten season, where people become more disciplined and give up habits for 40 days.
