15 Minutes Photo Gallery - Feb 2021

A group of zany friends came together for the Second Saturday Artwalk in Old Town BSL on Feb. 13, to celebrate the carnival season with a "Thrift Shop Stroll." Noel Allen, who created the concept, says that next year the friends want to make it an official event and the public will be invited to participate. So start hitting those thrift shops now!

Mardi Gras 2021 the BSL Way

February 2021

Call them unsinkable, call them plucky: When the residents of Bay St. Louis learned that their beloved Mardi Gras celebrations were canceled due to Covid-19, they didn't quit. If they couldn't go to the party, they brought the party to their homes! Take a look at some of the amazing "house floats" created by our talented local residents!

L ro R. Marian Glaser, Nichole Eley-Fairconeture, and 100 Women Queen Mariah Dedeaux.

The weather was parade-perfect on Fat Tuesday, February 25, for the annual Krewe of Real People: The Next Generation Mardi Gras parade. It's the coast's only predominantly African-American parade. This year's King and Queen, Dr. Myron Labat and Dr. Cherie Labat, presided over the festivities.

Reigning as queen of the 100 Women (of 100 Men Hall) group was Mariah Dedeaux. Mariah's Mardi Gras experience was marred earlier in the season when she was singled out for a racist throw, in an incident that made national news. 100 Women founder Rachel Dangermond said it was an honor to have Dedeaux as queen for the group's inaugural march. "Mariah is poised, gracious and has a vibrant spirit."

As always, the parade was a fantastic finale for the Gulf Coast Carnival season, providing a wonderful time for both participants and spectators.
