** New Orleanians will find ways to celebrate.
No matter what.
------------------------------------------------------------
This year's Carnival season will be like no other. With the pandemic forcing us to cancel parades, it's easy to feel like the world doesn't want us to celebrate. But we've never let the challenges we've faced stop us from celebrating Mardi Gras before, and we won't this year, either.
New Orleanians have already come up with so many fantastic ways to celebrate. Many local residents are hiring Mardi Gras artists to decorate their houses like parade floats.

"Here in New Orleans, we know how to celebrate.
We practically invented it."
-Mayor LaToya Cantrell
We're already showing the world that nothing can dampen our Carnival spirits! Keep coming up with new and creative ways to celebrate, and share them (safely) with your friends and neighbors!
