Mardi Gras parades in Thibodaux for 2021 have been canceled, Mayor Tommy Eschete confirmed with the Times this morning.

Eschete said the surge in COVID-19 cases led to the decision.

“We just feel like it’s in everybody’s best interest to forgo parades this year and just kind of hope that next year is a different story,” he said. 


The mayor said he already notified the krewes.

“We certainly appreciate the krewes’ understanding and working with us on that. It makes our job a whole lot easier,” he added.
