GALVESTON MARDI GRAS CANCELLED

  

 

The City of Galveston has cancelled its 2021 Mardi Gras celebration over mounting concerns over the spread of coronavirus.

The festival, set to run from Feb. 5-to-16, is one of three large Galveston festivals to be canceled due to the looming COVID-19 pandemic.

Officials say they feel it would be difficult to enforce social distancing and other precautious during the festivities, which draw tens of thousands of attendees each year.

The vote to cancel was unanimous and with little discussion.
