1. Rodrigue Arcuri:

   We are happy to see the people of New Orleans finally able to return to normal and enjoy the Mardi Gras season, that is exactly what we have been advocating for.We are furious to see our so-called city leaders violating their own mask mandate all through the carnival season while demanding that ordinary citizens and children remain masked. The hypocrisy and privilege will no longer be tolerated. The silence from our state legislature is deafening. We see you, and we are coming for you.

2. Beau Tidwell:

   I want to be very clear. Mardi Gras 2021 is not canceled. It is going to look different. The mayor has been very consistent about saying that at every stage.

3. David Guas:

   King cake is to Mardi Gras as pumpkin pie is to Thanksgiving — without it, the holiday just would not be the same ! Every table in every home, office, cafeteria and lounge will be graced by a king cake at some point between Twelfth Night on Jan. 6, and Fat Tuesday, when Lent begins.

4. New Orleans:

   The mask guidelines and the vaccination requirement will remain in effect thru Mardi Gras, that has not changed and it will not change. Under the current guidelines, masks may be removed indoors while eating and drinking. While we did not see perfect adoption of the guidelines in every instance over the weekend, we were encouraged overall by the level of masking and vigilance we saw on the parade route and at ball events.

5. Bernard Eichold:

   Like during a traditional Mardi Gras event, everyone needs to exercise personal safety and have a safe and wonderful event.
