Mardi Gras season is in full swing, and I would like to invite you and your family and friends to come experience Mardi Gras in Slidell. Grab your lawn chairs, ice chests and king cakes and head on out to the parade route to enjoy all the parades rolling through Slidell:

• Friday, Feb. 2, 7 p.m. – Krewe of Mona Lisa and MoonPie

• Saturday, Feb. 3, 10 a.m. – Krewe De Paws

• Sunday, Feb. 4, 1 p.m. – Krewe of Dionysus

• Friday, Feb. 9, 6:30 p.m. – Krewe of Selene

• Tuesday, Feb 13, 10 a.m. – Krewe of Kidz

I am proud that many families choose to celebrate Mardi Gras here in Slidell. It’s great to see so many smiling faces of family, friends, and neighbors along the parade route. I ask that everyone be respectful and help us maintain the fun, family-friendly environment that people enjoy in Slidell.

Please remember that city ordinances prohibit the presence of animals along the parade route. The use of silly string, streamers, fireworks, and other explosive devices are also restricted. It is important that we all work together to have a fun and safe carnival season.

For the complete parade schedule and more upcoming cultural events, please visit the City of Slidell’s website at MySlidell. com. You can also follow the “City of Slidell, Louisiana” on Facebook.

Come enjoy the best that Slidell has to offer during Mardi Gras season.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Greg Cromer

Mayor, City of Slidell
