The City of New Orleans says that Mardi Gras parades will not be permitted in 2021. According to the city’s Mardi Gras 2021 website, “Parades of any kind will not be permitted this year because large gatherings have proven to be super spreader events of the COVID-19 virus.” At a news conference yesterday, city spokesman Beau Tidwell said traditional parades are not possible under the current guidelines and that the city can’t act like this is a normal year. He said he did not think this should have been a surprise to anyone. The city is asking Krewes to figure out ways to celebrate under the current guidelines.
