They’re not synonymous. Carnival is the season, Mardi Gras is the day.

So it varies year to year, culture to culture. Am only fam with NO and in Rio. Other than those, it's peripheral to important events.

In which cultures are they the same? (Sincerely asking because I want to learn…hence being in this sub.)

Mardi gras & Carnival are all part of the same celebrations in Catholic systems. No protestant churches celebrate mardi gras nor Carnival. What yer doing is saying that movement 1 of a symphony bears no relationships to the rest of the whole musical piece.

Yes, they are part of the same celebration. Carnival is the season, Mardi Gras is the day -- just like I already said.
