It was barely the start of 2021 when The Greater Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras Association made the announcement that Lafayette Mardi Gras would be canceled. COVID-19 restrictions made it tough for Mardi Gras to go down safely and in the same way we know and love the festivities.

But now, Mardi Gras in Lafayette is making its triumphant return in 2022 and it is sure to be a season that will go down in the history books. The Greater Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras Association is providing all of the preliminary details now so that folks can begin planning before the holiday season is truly in full-swing.
