Mardi Gras Parades Latest Victim of Covid-19

Because of the threat of Covid-19, there will be no traditional Carnival parades in Orleans or St. Tammany parishes in 2021. Other ways to celebrate, including virtual parades,  the Joan of Arc stationary parade,  and houses decorated like floats, are currently under consideration.

Jefferson Parish is not ruling out holding parades later in 2021. Originally, they were planning on Memorial Day weekend but that has now been nixed.
