Today, Fat Tuesday, is the last day of the Carnival season and a day for celebration

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Carnival season and a day for celebration.

WDRB’s Keith Kaiser “Let the Good Times Roll” at Lou Lou on Market for Mardi Gras.

Although some people use Carnival and Mardi Gras interchangeably, they are actually different things.

Carnival is a time to eat, drink and be merry before fasting and making sacrifices during Lent.

It is filled with parades and other celebrations leading up to Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday.”

Mardi Gras is always the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.

Carnival officially ends at midnight on Fat Tuesday and Lent begins.

Lou Lou on Market had a whole day of fun planned in St. Matthews.

Some of Lou Lou’s menu has New Orleans and Cajun influences.

Expect plenty of gumbo, jambalaya, hurricanes, crawfish étouffée, music, plenty of beads and more.

Doors open at 11am and serving all day till 11pm.
