An email to our float was sent out a few days ago that said its necessary to wear mask the entire route but especially when approaching Gallier Hall downtown.


Maybe a stupid question but why does the mask matter?

Mardi Gras is starting to become way too unsafe for people. Local government needs to start putting more restrictions on these events


At least perform some sort of inspections, AMIRITE?

Had a members meeting on Tuesday saying essentially dont tempt fate as city is trying to find any reason to move Endymion to the uptown route.

Almost happened this year but krewe had to cough up money to get extra LEs from harbor police and JPD to meet the "security need" of the city.

Why would not wearing a mask get Endymion uptown?

Wouldn’t you rather roll uptown? Less crime? Nicer areas.

Maybe I just don’t understand New Orleans.

New city admin doesnt really like Endymion and they will use any kind of excuse to make it happen next year and moving forward.

Not privy to all the behind the scenes info just what was told to us.

Damn can’t even go to Mardi Gras without getting run over by a float




It'd be a lot weirder to get run over by a float when it's not Mardi Gras.

City officials are looking for any reason to push Endymion onto the uptown route. They wouldn’t have to spread out an already thin NOPD/NOFD. Until then, theyll force the parade to pay to keep the traditional route.

It’s a frickin parade. People have prejudices against a parade?
