Streets will be closed in the downtown entertainment district and around Mardi Gras Park for celebrations, because even without parades, Mobilians "may want to come downtown"
Feb 3, 2021
From the City of Mobile: Even though there will not be parades this year, the City of Mobile will be closing streets in the entertainment district of Downtown Mobile for celebrations on Fat Tuesday. On Tuesday, February 16, 2021, Dauphin Street will be closed from S. Washington Avenue to Royal Street as will all through streets that run between Dauphin Street and St. Francis/Government streets in this same area.
COVID-19 may have changed our plans, but it won’t shake our Mardi Gras spirit.
We know that Mardi Gras is an important holiday and Mobilians may want to come downtown. Closing these streets will allow more space for social distancing in open, outdoor spaces. Government Street will also be closed near Mardi Gras Park.

Don’t spend too much time looking back. Learn what you need from mistakes or things that happened in the past, but stay focused on the future. In the careers I’ve had, they have often been positions of change, working as an agent of change. To do that, you are going to take risks. There will be missteps and you know that if you never take a risk, you will never get very far. Not everything will work out.
