Who said it was “official”?
Does the OP have a link saying that New Orleans cancelled Mardi Gras?

Really? As if the riders on the floats are the ones posing the risk. That's crazy if true, and just more evidence that her intent is to blow up the whole thing.

Question: Will there be parades in the City of New Orleans this year?
"Answer: Parades of any kind will not be permitted this year because large gatherings have proven to be super spreader events of the COVID-19 virus."
To be fair this year is 2020 not 2021.

Jazz Fest cancellation is all but guaranteed now too
The Louisiana unemployment fund has been empty for months and $222 max unemployment ends December 26.

This quote from Mardi Gras whisperer Arthur Hardy pretty much sums up Cantrell's approach to Mardi Gras this year. Such a disappointing situation.
quote:
"Why were we advised to reinvent our parades and figure out how we can socially distance, take temperatures on the floats, if we knew all along — or the city knew all along — that there wouldn't be parades?" Hardy said.

Eliminating the virus is not the fix. The virus is their tool. The armies of socialists and Karens are plentiful and enough to fight against anyway out of the virus. it is the best thing people like the mayor could ever wish for.

I still dont see anywhere that New Orleans has cancelled 2021 Mardi Gras like the OP is claiming. What am I missing?

Mardi Gras is a religious holiday and is not "cancelled." However, there will be no parades in 2021.

If Thoth is cancelling I’m assuming Carrollton is right behind y’all. That sucks.

Like I said....Mardi Gras is not cancelled like the OP is claiming........Mardi Gras is technically a religious holiday
Since 1857 , Mardi Gras has been interrupted 13 times due mainly to wars.
In 1979, Mardi Gras in Orleans parish was cancelled due to NOPD strike- and we all survived.
Mardi Gras throwback: 1979 police strike canceled parades in Orleans Parish
quote:
It takes a lot to call off Mardi Gras parades. It takes even more to call off an entire season. Other than widespread political unrest, which halted Mardi Gras activities in 1875, only wars have canceled Carnival. The Civil War (1861-65) and World Wars I (1918-19) and II (1942-45) caused 11 Fat Tuesdays to be paradeless.
The next big scare didn’t come until 1979, when Mayor Dutch Morial, the New Orleans City Council and the majority of Carnival captains voluntarily called off all parades in New Orleans rather than give in to wage demands made by Teamsters Union members of the New Orleans Police Department. The matter was eventually settled in the city’s favor but not until after the Carnival season.
Among the 16 canceled parades were the most historic and significant ones, such as Rex, Comus, Venus and Zulu. Bacchus and its celebrity king, Ron Howard, staged a miniparade inside the Rivergate Convention Center. The remaining 13 parades scrambled to find venues outside Orleans Parish.
The Krewe of Okeanos moved to Chalmette, while Hercules and the truck parades of Elks Orleanians and Crescent City paraded in Gretna. Slidell, in St. Tammany Parish, welcomed the New Orleans East krewes of Pontchartrain and Selena. But it was Kenner in Jefferson Parish that came to the rescue of the most parades; seven clubs rescheduled there, including the superkrewe Endymion.
