A weather-driven decision to reschedule the Mystics of Time Mardi Gras parade affected visitors and downtown Mobile businesses in February 2018, according to a WKRG report.

The parade was moved to Monday night after the forecast raised concerns, disappointing people who had traveled to Mobile for the celebration because rain did not arrive downtown at the scheduled parade time.

The report explored the local economic impact of a schedule change during Mardi Gras. This article records a 2018 event and is not a current parade schedule or business forecast.
