I was talking about in the entire country in general.
As far as The Villages, I believe that there area lot of people of Italian, Irish and Scottish heritage in The Villages. There are a lot of Polish people as well. I doubt that there is a significant Mexican population although I do know that there is a rather substantial Filipino population but we don't celebrate any
Filipino holidays.
Mardi Gras is an American celebration. It began in New Orleans and has a Catholic connection.
