The Eunice Courir de Mardi Gras will take place although on a smaller scale than previous years, Captain Pat Frey said.
Frey confirmed the run following a number of Mardi Gras event cancellations.

No decision has been made about holding the Mardi Gras in downtown Eunice, but the Courir de Mardi Gras is planned.
Eunice Mayor Scott Fontenot says whether Mardi Gras is celebrated here is a sensitive decision.
The Mardi Gras party in Eunice went by relatively free of any serious crime, Police Chief Randy Fontenot said.
The first chicken offered to the Eunice Courir de Mardi Gras was tossed into the air by Dale Soileau and from there the run was on.
For five days thousands of people — there is no exact count — turned downtown Eunice into a party that ended with a grand finale of a parade Tuesday afternoon.
