Yes, they are part of the same celebration. Carnival is the season, Mardi Gras is the day -- just like I already said.

They’re not synonymous. Carnival is the season, Mardi Gras is the day.

I think so, too! I've never understood the folks who are go-go-go and thrive on all that celebrating and socializing. I'm sure they don't understand why I sit at home so much, haha.

And then January 6 is Epiphany, which begins Carnival, which leads to Mardi Gras then Ash Wednesday, which begins Lent, then Easter!
