St. Louis Mardi Gras 2018 Brought the Party to Soulard

St. Louis residents didn't let freezing temperatures and a little bit of ice on the streets stop them from partying with their friends and, most importantly, getting those beads. With a theme of #Muny100, party krewes brought musical theater flair during the Bud Light Grand Parade. But the fun started even before then. Beginning at 9 a.m., revelers filled the streets of Soulard, drinking their fill of beer and hurricanes and celebrating one last hurrah before the onset of Lent. Photographer Theo Welling was there to capture all the excitement.
