Before you can get to Mardi Gras, you'll have to go through Twelfth Night, right? But what is it exactly?
It’s a play by William Shakespeare, right? Well, yes, that’s true, too. But in South Louisiana (and in several parts of the Catholic world), the day holds a greater significance – it’s a feast day, and the official start of Mardi Gras season...
So the holidays have come and gone and now it’s time for another major holiday for Louisiana. Mardi Gras is coming and it’s an early one this year!
Mardi Gras this year is on February 21st and it kicks off with the 12th night celebration this Friday night January 6th, 2012 at the Lake Charles Civic Center!
