The King Cake Crawl begins at Andress Artist and Entrepreneur Center, located at 717 Crockett Street, where they will feature King Cake treats and cold brew coffee with King Cake foam from Rhino Coffee.

King cake season has finally arrived and it's a long one this year. Why it matters: The seasonal pastry is only available between Jan. 6 and Mardi Gras day, which is March 4 this year. Get it while you can.

Mardi Gras has been deemed the highest threat level under the Department of Homeland Security's Special Event Assessment Rating system for the first time, in response to the Jan. 1 vehicle attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14.

Following a New Year’s Day attack that killed 14, the Louisiana city known for its colorful Carnival festivities and parades is grappling with how to celebrate—and do so safely—in the wake of tragedy.

In the wake of the French Quarter terrorist attack, President Joe Biden acted swiftly to honor Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s request for the highest threat rating for the city’s Carnival season. Cantrell’s Homeland Security chief Collin Arnold says the city welcomes the SEAR 1 designation.
