U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Jaren Sanders, the aide-de-camp to deputy commander of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South, Brig. Gen. Omar J. Randall, shakes hands with a carnival-goer in New Orleans, Feb. 12, 2024. It is a Lundi Gras tradition for King Rex and King Zulu 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.
