Mardi Gras has a long history in the US, with the first New Orleans Mardi Gras parade in 1837. Goosefoot has brought the party to Whidbey Island since 2014. Mardi Gras is actually the culmination of 12 days of celebrations before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent, the final of which being “Fat Tuesday.”
