this year the Mardi Gras has been cancelled,
but all is not lost, New Orleans is bringing the parade flavour back anyway, by decorating houses as
if they were traditional Mardi Gras parade floats! A project called "Hire a Mardi was
Artist" is putting artists, float builders, and craftspeople to
work transforming homes into colourful art installations,
the money raised through donations pays for the work, and
also helps struggling musicians and others who are impacted by the Mardi Gras
cancellations, article and video from Boing Boing, it is nice to see that despite the lockdown, traditions can still take place and be celebrated.
