When is Mardi Gras 2022?Mardi Gras changes dates each year because it is connected to Easter, which also changes dates each year. Mardi Gras always falls exactly 47 days before Easter.

Each year, Carnival begins on January 6, or the Feast of the Epiphany in the Christian faith.

Different clubs, or krewes, host parades and masked balls in the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, and the holiday is renowned for merry-making and fun.
