When is Mardi Gras? Dates through 2036
How the date is set
Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday, 47 days before Easter Sunday. It can fall anywhere from February 3 to March 9.
Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday, is the last day before Lent begins. It is also known as Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day.
Good to know
- Its date changes every year because it is counted back from Easter.
- It is always a Tuesday.
How this countdown counts
The timer runs to midnight at the start of Mardi Gras in your own time zone. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.
