  They use the name ‘Mardi Gras’ because at the time of the first one it was just synonymous with a street festival of any kind.

  But Mardi Gras originated as a Christian celebration (also known as Shrove Tuesday) before Lent, so a lot of places have a Mardi Gras celebration connected to that tradition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Gras

  I’ve often used the part of ‘If an article isn’t from an Oceanian news outlet’ as a guide. I figured that was in there because if it’s reported by local news outlets then a journalist/editor has considered it of interest to Australians.
