Watch: Tulsa Restaurants Celebrate Mardi Gras

People in Green Country are also getting into the festive spirit on this Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday.

Mardi Gras is full of traditions. Each color is symbolic down to every detail on the king cake, one of the most popular ways to celebrate. Cajun Ed's Hebert's Specialty Meats is decked out for Mardi Gras bringing some southern Louisiana flair and flavor to Tulsa. Owner Ed Richard is from Lafayette and celebrates every year.

Green gold and purple symbolize faith power and justice.

The king cake is a circle to symbolize the wise men searching for baby Jesus, which is why a baby is hidden inside each cake. Richard says the person who finds gets the baby in their piece of cake is the king or queen for the day. But he says it also means it's on them to get next year's cake or throw the next party.

His restaurant started making king cakes on January 6, Kings Day, which kicks off Mardi Gras season.

He says his favorite Mardi Gras memories are the parades.

"You go hang out on Main Street with all of the people and everybody's dressed up in purple, green, and gold and they have all these costumes on that are really fancy and of course, you can't tell who they are because they're hiding their identity so they can go wild before Ash Wednesday. So that was really a big part of it growing up,” Richard said.

Cajun Ed's will be celebrating Tuesday night with live music and authentic food.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, 40 days of spiritual preparation before Easter.
