Mardi Paws is a Mardi Gras procession in Covington, Louisiana dedicated to animal welfare.

History

The Krewe of Mardi Paws is a nonprofit organization[1] that was founded in 1994 by Denise Gutnisky[2] as a small dog parade that raised funds for animal shelters. Starting in 1999, the parade had a new theme each year it was held. The parade was born in Mandeville, but was moved to Downtown Covington in 2020.[3][4][5] The parade is held during the typical Mardi Gras season.[6]

The Bacchus was the first Mardi Gras Krewe to have a celebrity appear as its monarch, and Mardi Paws is the first dog parade to have a celebrity appear as its monarch, American actor Ian Somerhalder in 2014, who was born and raised in Covington, Louisiana[7].

The parade, typically held the first Sunday after Mardi Gras, was not able to roll in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they followed New Orleans in their idea to make dog house floats.[8][9][10]

Another event the organization started is Mutts to Models,[11] also held in Mandeville, where local personalities walk in a fashion show with their dog.[12] The Mystic Krewe of Mardi Paws has also put on several adoption events as well as smaller fundraising events such as Mutts & Moonshine,[13] which benefited TADSAW, (Train a Dog, Save a Warrior),[14] a charity based in Texas that works with veterans and service dogs. In 2020, they also hosted "Trunk or Treat," a Halloween costume contest benefiting the St. Tammany Parish Animal Shelter[15] In October 2020, they hosted, "Mardi Paws geauxs pink" to help raise awareness for breast cancer.[16]
