Spinoff thread: Would they ever outright cancel Bacchus or Endymion?

I do not believe, could be wrong, cancelled in 1979 due to police strike.

Not looking good for the home teams this year...

60% chance of rain for Sat and Sun.. Hope the weather gods come through..
Sucks..

Has anything ever happened weather wise where either of the major krewes just got completely canceled that year? Or is there too much invested to let that happen?

Weather wise, I can't think of any parades that were completely cancelled. I've seen parades get rescheduled to a different day. Seen them rescheduled to roll a few hours earlier/later to avoid bad weather. Even remember parades cancelling their marching groups/bands due to weather but still had the parade with only the floats rolling.

Endymion got to much $$$$ involved. If Endy had to ride at 3 am in the East so as not to refund rides rest assured they will

The parade may get cancelled but the Extravaganza, Bacchus Bash, Orpheuscapade etc... will typically go on as scheduled.

Endy roll right behind them

Dear God no... never again.

It would take a lot for Bacchus to be canceled. I am sure the same goes into Endymion. There is just way too much work that goes into putting those parades together just to up and cancel them.
