Here's where we'll be tonight! It's February 19th and it's time for me to see my very first Mardi Gras Parade! It takes place in the Marigny and Lower French Quarter (That's my neck of the woods!) I'm so excited. I'll be on Decatur eagerly awaiting the amazing bands and parade floats that will come down the street. Get excited! Photos to come.
So what is Krewe du Vieux you ask? Well I pulled up their page on the internet, it's so handy, and here's what they explained...
"The Krewe du Vieux is a New Orleans Mardi Gras or Carnival krewe, originally and more fully known as the Krewe du Vieux Carre (“Vieux Carre” being another term for the city’s French Quarter). It is one of the earliest parades of the New Orleans Carnival calendar, and is noted for wild satirical and adult themes, as well as for showcasing some of the best Brass and Jazz Bands in New Orleans."
You'll find more information here at Krewe du Vieux.
Add pictures asap!
