RETURN OF THE SOULARD DOG PARADE


St. Louis claims to have the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the U.S. after New Orleans (which is several orders of magnitude bigger and better). Events start well before Fat Tuesday. The dog parade resumed yesterday after a Covid absence in our Soulard neighborhood. Thousands of people and pooches dress up and march through the streets. It was pretty crowded on a spring-like day.
