PANAMA CITY There hadn t been an interruption in the annual Mardi Gras party in historic St. Andrews since it began more than two decades ago until this year.
Last year s event preceded the pandemic lockdowns, and this year s event was postponed from February until later in the year, when more people would (with any luck) have received vaccinations. It s kind of like rescheduling Christmas, said Robbie Fehrenbach with the St. Andrews Waterfront Project, one of the people who helped get the celebration started in St. Andrews back in 1997. But people are ready to have, to celebrate, and we re resilient enough that we re going to do this.
