Mardis Gras weekend in St. Louis Missouri is recognized as one of the largest celebrations of its kind in the United States.  Vendors and party-goers set up in Soulard, which is inside the city limits of St. Louis.  The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will ramp up its patrols of Soulard for the event, which attracts tens of thousands of partiers annually.  Many officers will be keeping the peace in Soulard this weekend on foot.  Those who attend the events are recommended to take shuttles and/or cabs to and from their destination.

Many partiers may be tempted to drink alcohol and then leave Soulard in a private vehicle.  This is a bad idea.  Law enforcement officers will be anticpating this type of behavior and beefing up sobriety checkpoints in and around the Soulard area.  More importantly, people lose their lives when the make the choice to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol.  Its not worth your life or someone elses.  Many Mardis Gras vendors will be sponsering sober rides for partiers to take advantage of over the entire weekend.
