    You don't have to be a huge Parrothead to know that Jimmy Buffett grew up in and around Mobile,…read moreAlabama. If you are, then you've probably heard him talk about Mardi Gras, going as a child, and how Mardi Gras in the US started in Mobile many years before New Orleans began celebrating the event. Mardi Gras is still a big deal in Mobile today, with schools, banks, government offices and most private businesses closing on Fat Tuesday. In my opinion, Mardi Gras is the best of the many things the Mobile Bay area has going for it. Fat Tuesday falls on a different date every year (46 days before Easter) and marks the end of carnival season. Carnival Season is actually about a month long. Some areas start the parades and celebrations before others. I mention this because many out-of-towners think Mardi Gras lasts a day or a weekend, and are unaware of its religious affiliation. Now, for the good stuff! Mobile, like many cities that celebrate the event, does have balls and parties geared toward adults. They also have many parades with floats, and huge ones at that! Revelers take home everything from beads and candy, to cups, frisbees and stuffed animals, to the Moon Pies that are unique to Mobile's Mardi Gras. The biggest of the parades are toward the end of carnival season and include the Floral Parade, Joe Cain Day, and of course, Fat Tuesday. Unlike many other cities that celebrate Mardi Gras, Mobile's Mardi Gras is family friendly. You and your children will be amazed at the events that make this event my second favorite holiday season. I even plan to enter my pup, Jazzy, in Fairhope's Mystic Mutts of Revelry this year. How's that for fun for the whole family, when even the dog gets to join in the celebration? For more information on Mardi Gras in Mobile, check out the Mobile Mask website (http://themobilemask.com/Home_Page.html), the City of Mobile's website (http://www.cityofmobile.org/mardigras.php), or the Mobile Mardi Gras Association, (www.mamga.com). This is a can't miss event in the Mobile Bay area! Laissez les bons temps rouler!
