BAY MINETTE – Citing concerns over COVID-19, County commissioners denied permission Tuesday for the last Mardi Gras parade planned to roll on Baldwin streets.
The third-annual Fort Morgan Mardi Gras Parade had been scheduled for Feb. 14, the Sunday before Mardi Gras. The parade would roll on 1.9 miles of streets in the community.
At their meeting Tuesday, county commissioners said they did not feel the event was appropriate during the pandemic.
“My concern would be that many others that would normally not go there went there. I personally would have problems supporting that parade. I would like to them to postpone it, Commission Chairman Joe Davis said.
