Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Yes, the good times start rolling Friday night, Feb. 21, continuing through Fat Tuesday, Feb. 25, as Chattanoogans have their choice of eight local theme parties to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras is also called Fat Tuesday because it’s the last day to indulge in rich food and drinks during carnival season before Lent starts the following day, Feb. 26. Lent concludes April 9.

Reservations/advance ticket purchases are needed if you and your krewe want to strut your stuff at one of the following Mardi Gras parties.
