Fat Tuesday Celebration
2025-03-04 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | MD
Join us as we come together with food and fun to celebrate Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is one of the most vibrant and exciting cultural celebrations in the world. This annual carnival event is steeped in tradition and has been celebrated for centuries. Mardi Gras, which means “Fat Tuesday” in French, was traditionally a time of revelry, excess, and indulgence before the Christian season of Lent. From colorful parades and dazzling floats to masks, costumes, and beads, Mardi Gras is a feast for the senses and has become more secular in observance. Fat Tuesday is a time to let loose, have fun, and experience the magic of one of America’s most vibrant cultural traditions. So come and join in the celebration – laissez les bons temps rouler!
This event is sponsored by WSE Graduate Student Affairs in collaboration with the Office of Health Promotion and Well Being.
