Mardi Gras is a celebration that takes place on Earth, most significantly in New Orleans.
Around 2350, Benjamin Sisko helped his sister Judith construct a robotic skeleton float for the Mardi Gras he participated in before joining Starfleet Academy. The float later crashed against a balcony railing on Bourbon Street and Sisko blamed his sister for the malfunction, although she believed he knew it was his fault for overloading the servos. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Lesser Evil)
In 2376, after hearing of the Wa festival from Pifko Gaber, Jake Sisko recalled Mardi Gras and stories about it featuring Joseph Sisko's great-grandfather. (DS9 novel: Rising Son)
