Concerts, parties and plenty of drinks can be had all over the Valley to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is traditionally the last day before the season of Lent begins, a period of time characterized by self-denial and religious reflection.

Which means, it’s time to party.

Here are 10 places to celebrate the holiday around metro Phoenix, including some that stretch later into the month, just in case you want to let the good times roll past the official holiday.
