Carnival season is in full swing in New Orleans. The cost of securing parades has become more expensive for organizers since the deadly New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people.
The cost of securing events in New Orleans has increased following the deadly New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street, which killed 14 people. During Carnival season, parade organizers now face higher expenses due to the need for increased police presence. While the city covers these costs for larger, traditional parades, smaller events struggle to manage the added financial burden. Local officials are working to address the issue by revising city codes.
