Starts with the Zulus

These floats are no joke

Hey mister, throw me something!

And progresses to Rex, The King of the Carnival

And his lieutenants

Butterfly King?

Find the hidden riders in the float!

Boeuf Gras, represents the feasting of Fat Tuesday

We got a lot of throws from these guys

Not just beads

That might be my most favorite parade picture, trash, beads, Mardi Gras flavored potato chips…

And then the Krewe du Vieux filled out the rest of the 10 hour parade day

Satire and word play

And then it’s all over except for the clean up

25 million pounds of beads creates a lot of trash

And then Mardi Gras is done for another year.

Next time, I’m coming for the whole week because we missed a LOT of stuff in the week before.

Next time…
