Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of New Orleans, Louisiana canceled their annual parade. The folks in NOLA didn't let that stop them from socially-distant celebrating, though.

Megan Boudreaux started what she's dubbed "Yardi Gras" where people decorate their homes. It initially started as a personal project, but as more residents began participating, Boudreaux turned it into a charity program. She launched a non-profit called Krewe of House Floats, and the money donated will go to those affected by Coronavirus. The neighborhood still has spirit too!
