About: Mardi Gras Act of 1875

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In 1875, the Louisiana State Legislature declared Mardi Gras a legal holiday in the state of Louisiana. The holiday is observed on the day before Ash Wednesday (also known as Fat Tuesday). Establishing the state holiday made it possible for people to celebrate Mardi Gras legally, including suspending laws against concealing one's identity with a mask for the day, though it continues to be illegal on every other day of the year. Critics maintain that this holiday has facilitated anonymity which has led to unabashed drunkenness, drug abuse, violence against individuals and businesses, and other criminal activity.
