Revelers will be back in New Orleans this weekend as Mardi Gras returns in full force after a year away.
The city canceled 2021's traditional parades after Mardi Gras 2020 became a superspreader event, infecting thousands and turning New Orleans into an early pandemic hot spot.
We get the latest on this year's celebrations from Shalina Chatlani, a health reporter with the Gulf States Newsroom.

"Why are there no parades in New Orleans this year?
Parades were canceled last year because officials realized tightly packed crowds in 2020 had created a superspreader event, making the city an early Southern hot spot for COVID-19. Instead people decorated their houses to look like floats as a way to keep the Carnival spirit alive."
