In Acadia, sometimes Mi-Carême involves a person dressing up as an old woman mummer who gives treats to good children much in a similar style as St. Nicholas. There is also a version that is used as a frightening figure like Krampus. 🧵 4/5

Part of the tradition of Mi-Carême is dressing up in disguise and going from house to house for treats. At the homes, much like with mummering, the costumed people sing and dance for the treats. In Acadian communities, the tradition varies slightly. 🧵 3/5

Mi-Carême traditionally occurs on the third Thursday of Lent, but there are variations where it is held on the third Tuesday. In some communities the Mi-Carême celebrations last for an entire week. One of the biggest aspects of Mi-Carême are costumes. 🧵 2/5
