Mardi Gras revelers put parading on pause for Super Bowl parties
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – Many people coming from parades decided to stop by The Station Bar and Grill in Baton Rouge Louisiana.
“We’re at the station, we’re having a Super Bowl party and we’re just gonna have fun and watch the game, and see how many times they say Taylor Swift’s name,” said Suzanne Edmonson, patron of The Station.
Just focusing on having a good time, the room was mixed on who they wanted to win.
“I’m excited to see Brock Purdy, Mrs. irrelevant winning the Superbowl, that’s the best part of it, and seeing a bunch of people having fun, getting drunk, and enjoying football,” said Carson McLellan, Bartender at The Station.
“Whichever team my man is on. That is who I will be rooting for, but I am rooting for Usher at halftime,” said Kaitlyn Withers, Bartender at The Station.
The party was large and loud, consisting of a live band, an elaborate photo booth, and of course, the celebration was done exactly as expected in south Louisiana.
But more than anything, people in Louisiana are excited to host next year’s Super Bowl.
“I’m excited for that, I’m hoping the saints make it again, that would be reality exciting, or you know, Joe Burrow. If he makes it to the Super Bowl next year if Joey B is at the Super Bowl, even if he’s just watching, I’m going,” added Withers.
“Yes we’re gonna go, we’re definitely gonna go,” explained Edmonson.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Shelby Bordelon of Iberville Parish was crowned Miss Louisiana 2026 Saturday night in Monroe, earning the title and a $15,000 scholarship. Bordelon, a graduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University, said the role is about more than pageantry, emphasizing the yearlong service mission tied to the crown.
“Part of the mission of this organization is the service behind it,” Bordelon said. “And the service is so important, you are serving your state for a year… having the opportunities to connect with others… to continue making an impact and leaving my mark on others as well.”
Bordelon, who finished first runner-up in last year’s competition, said the moment her name was called as the winner still hasn’t fully sunk in.
“It was every emotion you could think of that was running through my mind at that moment,” she said, adding she focused on preparation and perspective this year. “I really wanted to go into this year with no regrets… just really trusting in that mindset and that plan.”
Bordelon said she hopes to use her platform to raise awareness for her nonprofit, Claire’s Promise, which focuses on combating drunk driving.
