You can't keep New Orleans down

This is so cool. There’s a twitter account, @HouseFloats, posting photos of all the House Floats, which I highly recommend if you want to see more. 

After Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced last November that Mardi Gras parades were canceled, the locals decided to take matters into their own hands, decorating their homes to look like the flamboyant floats — all designed by different collectives known as krewes — that make up the many parades over the Mardi Gras season.

These so-called "house floats" were an idea resident Megan Joy Boudreaux first joked about back in November with a tweet that read, in part, "Turn your house into a float and throw all the beads from your attic at your neighbors walking by. #mardigras2021."

Since then, Boudreaux has created the Krewe of House Floats, which she recently told The New York Post has become "a second full-time job" for her.

Twelfth Night is the official start of Carnival season in New Orleans. Here is the first Mardi Gras house ‘float’ - a tribute to Dr John. Also one of the tableaux from the Krewe of Jeanne d’Arc. Both innovative ways to celebrate in these coronavirus times. . . . . @redbeansparade #housefloat #kreweofredbeans #mardigras2021 #preservenola #neworleans #nolalove #onlyinneworleans #louisiana #nola #thisisnola #crescentcity #onlyinnola #nolaphotography #504 #whereyatnola #mardigras #mardigrasdecorations #neworleansculture #carnival #twelfthnight (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJxBc8WDgxm/?igshid=roagfl5jkun0
