Parades are currently still scheduled to happen in Houma for the upcoming Carnival season but will be moving in a different direction.

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet told HTV 10 on Monday that the route for the 2021 Houma Mardi Gras season on the west side will be reversed if parades aren’t canceled this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.


Houma krewes will meet at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center to pre-stage and line up the floats near Barrow Street and Highway 311 before making their way through downtown and to the Southland Mall, he said.

“My concern is the safety of everybody that’s enjoying the parade and everybody that’s on those floats,” the sheriff said. “And this is going to be, I think, more fluent and safer for everybody from our community to everyone on how it’s delivered.”
