barricades

The barricades are going up along the Lafayette parade route this week.

As we ramp up the Mardi Gras celebrations around Acadiana, Lafayette needs to make preparations for one of the biggest carnival season traditions: Barricades.

Every year, it's the sign that Mardi Gras is officially here.

Lafayette Consolidated Government has released the Mardi Gras barricade schedule for 2022.

Some say this is the true kickoff of Carnival season in Lafayette.

With Mardi Gras fast approaching, this is the week that Lafayette Consolidated Government employees will put up barricades along the parade route.

Mardi Gras is pretty much in full swing, and that means it's time for the barricades. The City of Lafayette has just released the barricade schedule for Mardi Gras 2018.

The Lafayette Consolidated Government has released its barricade placement schedule so businesses, residents and travelers in the City of Lafayette can be best informed and plan accordingly.

Heads up Lafayette drivers.

There may be a few traffic delays going on in the Lafayette area today, but it's for a good reason. Mardi Gras barricades will be going up throughout the day. Please be patient with the workers setting up the barricades because parades begin this weekend.
