Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras is a vibrant and joyous festival celebrated around the world, with a particularly resplendent display in Australia. Known as 'Fat Tuesday', Mardi Gras marks the exuberant climax before the solemn season of Lent begins. This festive period is renowned for its flamboyant parades, jubilant parties, and, in Australia, it serves as a beacon of pride and celebration for the LGBTQIA+ community. At the heart of these festivities is a cornucopia of love and diversity, making Mardi Gras a cherished occasion for people from all walks of life.
