Tuesday, March 1st, 2022 saw the culmination of weeks of parading and costume preparation. Arguably no better place to see this end-result in action than the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods where individuals and Micro-Krewes meander from street-to-street before finally calling it quits on Mardi Gras 2022. Tucked in there somewhere is the official Krewe of St. Anne, but for the vast many, this is Mardi Gras democratized.
