Fat Gras, also known as the bacchanalian revelry, is a colorful event that takes place prior to the Christian observance of Lent. This jamboree has evolved into a custom abounding in rhythms, dancing, marches, and people dressed up in beautiful outfits. In the period of Mardi Gras, folks enjoy snatching up bright beads that are tossed from carnival floats traveling down the streets. This glittering commemoration draws out a combination of thrill and joy for all.
