Jefferson Parish officials say this year's Carnival will be safe and enjoyable because of enhanced security measures.
Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng says the Super Bowl, the parish bicentennial, and now Mardi Gras have made for a busy couple of months.
Thousands of people are expected to attend Family Gras 2025 on Veterans Memorial Boulevard across from Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie.
Sheriff Joe Lopinto says security assets include two helicopters and "a bunch of bomb dogs."
