The famed Mardi Gras parade is returning to New Orleans next year as COVID cases decline across the country. City spokesman Beau Tidwell says they feel comfortable welcoming the world to Bourbon Street. The city had been using a Halloween parade, called the Krewe of Boo, as a test. It's been two weeks since the floats passed by big crowds and the city's health department has not seen a spike in COVID cases or deaths.
