One of the most popular Mardi Gras parades in Acadiana will not roll in 2021 due to COVID-19.
Leadership within the city of Youngsville made the tough decision to cancel their annual Mardi Gras parade for 2021 at last night s council meeting. After much discussion between Youngsville Chief of Police Rickey Boudreaux, city council, and staff on how the annual Mardi Gras event could look while still following COVID-19 guidelines, it was decided that it simply wouldn t be prudent to hold the event in 2021.
Even with the widespread availability of a vaccine on the horizon, every possible scenario of restrictions that was discussed at the city council meeting would have been too irresponsible for the city to move forward amidst a global pandemic not to mention would cause the parade to suffer to a point where it wouldn t be enjoyable for riders or thousands of paradegoers that attend the Mardi Gras celebration.
