HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Fat Tuesday is the biggest day in the Carnival Holiday, and Sacred Heart elementary students helped create a mini Mardi Gras parade display in lieu of in-person parades.
Students decorated shoeboxes to look like parade floats. Abigail Allen with the Hattiesburg Community Arts Center said she was excited to display the mini-floats downtown in the windows of the Saenger Theatre.
“Happy Fat Tuesday! I mean we are so happy that they decided to do this because it brings a little Mardi Gras spirit even at a time where spirit seems to be a little bit low,” Allen said. “So we have to keep Mardi Gras in our hearts so come on down and check it out.”
