Description
English: More than 200 local and base residents took part in Camp Pendleton’s Marine Corps Community Services first ever Mardi Gras celebration at the South Mesa Club, March 4. The event offered authentic Cajun-inspired meals and a live band that played throughout the night. Col. Nicholas F. Marano, commanding officer, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and Sgt. Maj. Ramona D. Cook, sergeant major, MCB Camp Pendleton were also in attendance to celebrate the annual New Orleans tradition. During the 17th century the Le Moyne brothers were sent to America by France’s King Louis XIV to defend France's claim on the territory of Louisiana. During their stay in the region they brought a French Catholic custom to America which has grown to become a tradition that is celebrated worldwide. Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, is celebrated in observance of the final night of excessive dining before the fasting of the Lenten season.
