New Orleans
In the 1970s Indian parades began on the Sunday closest to St. Joseph’s Day that later became known as Super Sunday.
Battles are waged, not to extract blood, but beauty, to see who is the prettiest. It is exhilarating.
Maybe you’ve never heard of it, or maybe you’re unsure of the connection to New Orleans.
We hope you’ve recovered from Mardi Gras because guess what….
People in the know have held close the few places that even attempt a decent dumpling. Secret’s out.
St. Patrick’s Day is Saturday, and because we haven’t had a parade in a whole week, it’s going down!
Close your eyes and imagine walking around New Orleans today and hearing an Irish accent from one out of every four residents. It must have been an amazing place to live.
Last year, the first day was brought to a halt when a storm blew through the area, twisting tents and stages.
Just when you thought you’d recovered from Mardi Gras, guess what?!
In other cities, it means that big game at the end of the NFL football season. But to New Orleanians, it means a chance to see the Mardi Gras Indians again.
