U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Tabitha Schiro and Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Omar Randall, deputy commander, Marine Corps Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South, speaks aboard the USCGC Pamlico (WLIC–800) during Lundi Gras in New Orleans, Feb. 12, 2024. It is a Lundi Gras tradition for King Rex, King Zulu and their guests to arrive by ship to the riverfront to ring in festivities before their respective parades on Mardi Gras Day. The Monday immediately before Mardi Gras Day – also called Lundi Gras, “Fat Monday” – holds its own ever-evolving traditions and celebrations; prior to 1987, Monday was typically a day of rest; now, Lundi Gras is another day of pre-partying for Fat Tuesday.
