There may be a Mardi Gras of sorts in 2021 after all.
Some of the krewes, as well as Terrebonne Parish President Gordy Dove, say they re hoping the vaccines now being rolled out for COVID-19 will reduce the number of people affected by the coronavirus to be able to stage the large events in the late spring or early summer.
In a letter to Terrebonne s carnival krewes dated Dec. 16, Dove announced that the parades in Terrebonne would be postponed.
Mike LaRussa, captain of the 750-member Krewe of Hercules in Houma, said that his krewe, the largest in Terrebonne, is hoping to stage its parade later in the spring if at all possible.

Two more communities have decided to cancel their 2021 Mardi Gras parades.
Both Lockport and Golden Meadow have announced the parades in those communities will not roll during the next Mardi Gras season.
Lockport mayor Ed Reinhardt posted the following on the Town of Lockport Facebook page: Due to the rise of cases of Covid-19 in town and the surrounding areas, I have decided to cancel the Lockport Mardi Gras Parade. This decision was not taken lightly. We cannot risk the health and safety of our citizens because the numbers keep rising daily. Terrebonne Parish, City of Thibodaux, and Town of Golden Meadow have cancelled as well. If things get better, I am willing to re-evaluate the situation, and the parade can possibly roll at a later time.
