NYX Gulf Coast Event Draws NOLA Attention

NOLA city officials have taken an interest in Nyx after the Krewe held an event in Biloxi last weekend when restrictions in New Orleans prevented them from having it there. A city spokesman said they may look at pulling the Krewe’s parade permit for 2022 as a result. The attorney for the Mystic Krewe of Nyx responded, saying the event, although called a Ball, was actually a small gathering of about 42 people. He said guests and event staff were socially distanced and followed all CDC guidelines. The Krewe’s decision to host a gathering during a pandemic sparked a firestorm on social media.
