Carnival season is in full swing in New Orleans. The cost of securing parades has become more expensive for organizers since the deadly New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people.

The move will better preserve the memorial from the elements and allow the city to move forward with Mardi Gras safety plans in the French Quarter.

The clock has struck midnight, which means that the New Orleans Police Department and the New Orleans mayor would ceremoniously end the revelry of Carnival Season.

French Quarter Task Force member Bob Simms said from a safety standpoint, the city must do something to secure Bourbon Street.

This place, right outside of Atlanta, gives you a little taste of Mardi Gras and New Orleans. Here's where one traveler says to visit this week.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the removal of the memorial was done in coordination with victims of the New Year's Day terror attack as well as family of the victims who died.

"Mardi Gras isn't just about Mardi Gras Day, which is a big day, but it really is about the over two weeks that we've managed through again," said Cantrell.
