π Welcome Back, Macaroni Parents! π
Is anyone else feeling that little shift in the air? Cooler weather is finally making an appearance, and it feels like the perfect reset after the first full week back in routine mode. π If you’re craving an excuse to get outside and do something fun together, now is the time.
And just like that… Mardi Gras season is officially here! This weekend brings the Bayou Mardi Gras Parade in New Iberia — the first parade we know of this season — and it’s always such a fun reminder that king cake, beads, and family traditions are right around the corner. πππ
Inside this week’s issue, you’ll find plenty of local events and easy ways to enjoy the weekend with your crew. Be sure to check our calendar to see what’s happening around Lafayette Parish, and let us help you make the most of this beautiful, festive start to the season.
