The Mardi Gras Indians were prohibited from marching in 2021 because of Covid-19. Mardi Gras parades were also prohibited.
ReplyDeleteHere's one video about this:

However, in spite of that ban, a few Mardi Gras Indians did march.
Here's one of several YouTube videos that were published by Urban Mommy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s8EC1Xh3I4&ab_channel=UrbanMommy Mardi Gras Indians (9th Wd vs 7th Wd)
Notice the streets aren't crowded as they would be on any other Mardi Gras Day*, but the most of the people who are out on the streets are wearing mask (although they aren't social distancing).
*Feb. 16, 2021 was Mardi Gras Day this year.
