Mardi Gras parades are being held, with some outlets providing guides and tips for attendees, while others are offering ways to watch the parades remotely. However, it is unclear if all parades are taking place as scheduled, as some reports mention alternative celebrations, such as "house floats", and parking restrictions along parade routes. Additionally, some coverage appears to be from previous years, while other reports are focused on events in different cities, such as Lafayette and Austin.
