Who says Mardi Gras is cancelled?
The Krewe of House Floats is an initiative to decorate homes during the Carnival season because of the cancellation and postponement of parades and gatherings for Mardi Gras 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the cities floats have popped up often using out-of-work Mardi Gras artists from Stronghold Studios, Crescent City Artists, LLC, Kern Studios and artists working with the Krewe of Red Beans’ “Hire A Mardi Gras Artist,” initiative.
