As the echoes of Mardi Gras 2025 fade, we reflect on a season that once again showcased the vibrant spirit and resilience of our Northshore community. From the dazzling floats of the Krewe of Eve to the high-energy performances of the Prima Donnas, our local parades brought creativity, joy, and a sense of unity to the streets. And, of course, Mardi Paws had our four-legged friends leading the way in their annual celebration of fun and philanthropy.

Beyond the beads and boas, this issue also shines a light on our Bankers and Beads feature, highlighting the local financial institutions that support Northshore businesses, families, and economic growth. These industry leaders are not just safeguarding assets—they’re investing in the future of our community.

At Social Northshore, our mission extends beyond covering events. We are committed to being a resource—a platform that elevates local businesses, spotlights community leaders, and highlights nonprofit organizations making a difference. We strive to bring you the best of the Northshore, celebrating the people and places that make our community so special.
