Mardi Gras was in full-swing in Basile, Louisiana and one Lake Charles TV station found out how much fun it can be in Evangeline Parish on "Fat Tuesday".
One of the biggest celebrations in all of Acadiana is Le Festival de Mardi Gras a Lafayette at Cajun Field and we're happy to announce that the fun kicks off this Friday.
Fat Tuesday is the last big celebration before Ash Wednesday, and today is the day! If you're going to wear purple, green, and gold beads, it's good to know what they mean.
