Description
One of a new gallery series Mardi Gras 2021 House Floats
The traditional Mardi Gras 2021 was canceled in New Orleans, LA due to Covid -19 and its social distancing mandates. A new Mardi Gras tradition originated to assist the float designers who work on the lavish Mardi Gras floats throughout the year.
There were a total of over 3,000 homes throughout the city, across America and around the world. Some neighborhoods homeowners decorated there houses and tossed Mardi Gras beads from the front yards to the vehicles driving by.
Homeowners allowed artist to decorate their homes and others created there own themes.

Greetings Renata, Greetings thank you so much for viewing Mardi Gras 2021 House Float In New Orleans, as disappointed locals and tourist were Mardi Gras canceled due to the pandemic. Now vaccines are being distributed anticipation for a bigger Mardi Gras 2022 bigger than ever and the creation of business and residents as a House Float.. There were no public gatherings, no serving of alchol, no parades, bars closed, many French Quarter streets closed, as a economic loss for the City, Krewes, bars, restaurants, merchants everyone looks forward to Mardi Gras 2022....
