It wasn't about just floats and beads at tonight's Mardi Gras parade (Saturday), it was time to bundle up.
According to the Mobile Police Department about 15,000 people came out for tonights Pharaohs and Conde Explorers Parades. That's less than half compared to last night (Friday).
Cool temperatures made for sparse crowds but some folks braved the cold conditions to take in the sights and sounds.
"We'll that's kinda good 'cause you get a front row seat and we are from slightly more north and my friends are from jersey so we're a little more prepared, "Said Deana Cruz, who came from Tennessee with her family. "We just love mardi gras even though it's cold we are really big fans, "Said Lindsay Jackson, who bundled up in a scarf and mittens for to watch the parade downtown.
