Hey Louisiana, welcome to Deep Gras. As the viral social media post says, Deep Gras is the point of no return in the Mardi Gras season. Here’s what the meme usually reads:. “We are now entering Deep Gras. The period of time between noon Wednesday and midnight Ash Wednesday. You now accept that everything you do for the next week revolves around Mardi Gras. You are about to see everyone you’ve ever known, and meet strangers that you’ll soon know. You will sleep too little. You will drink too much. You will eat and dance A LOT. It’s a time of community, celebration, and the god times really do roll. Everyday problems become put on pause. It’s without a doubt the happiest time of the year. Live it up, y’all!”
