Mardis Gras Photos: New Orleans Celebrates Ahead Of Fat Tuesday

New Orleans is getting ready to close out the 2019 Mardis Gras season, after nearly two months of celebrations.

Last day Mardis Gras celebrations, also known as Fat Tuesday, began with a shaky start this past Sunday with rainy weather causing some delays. Needless to say, the gloomy wet climate was not enough to stop hundreds of partygoers from stepping out onto the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, for one final round of festivities.

Not to mention, some famous faces have already been spotted partaking in Fat Tuesday celebrations, including Harry Connick Jr., Mario Lopez and Jensen Ackles.

Check out all the best moments from Fat Tuesday celebrations during Mardis Gras 2019 below:
