Lafayette Mardi Gras

In prior years, establishments that served alcohol within the LCG-controlled jurisdiction were able to carry on with business as usual - a 2 AM closing time.

I applaud the captain and his krewe for making a decision that, though painful, will safeguard the health and well-being of the whole community.

The Maraca is Rio's signature throw, so he arranged for someone to throw this one to her during the parade.

There will be a 30-vehicle limit on this parade, so if you want in, get registered now!

RV and Camper parking at Cajun Field starts at $500 per spot, with "extra" vehicle passes going for $50 each.

Police remind drivers that if they plan to drink, they should also plan to have a designated driver.

It will be a busy day for folks going to Mardi Gras in Lafayette.

Looking for something to do tonight? There are a ton of things happening in Lafayette this evening for Lundi Gras:
