BATON ROUGE - Amid ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the 2021 Spanish Town Mardi Gras parade won't roll through downtown on Feb. 13, after the city-parish did not approve plans, board president Robert King tells WBRZ.

BATON ROUGE - Spanish Town Mardi Gras officials are still holding out hope that riders will load onto floats and revelers will line up on sidewalks come Feb. 13.
"We can hold out a little bit longer and just kind of see," said Robert King, Spanish Town Mardi Gras Board President. "A lot of our people want a parade."
Whether a parade will roll, and in what fashion, is in the hands of the mayor's office and her medical advisors.
