New Orleans, Louisiana
Spring Festival Parade March 2000
As we moseyed around the French Quarter we heard approaching bagpipes,
and suddenly there was a full blown parade passing by. Almost fifty
photos show the young (and some not so young) women in pastel formals tossing
flowers to the spectators as they rode by in antique autos, all the horse
and mule drawn carriages in town, and even a fire engine. The parade
was the Spring Festival and in addition to the bagpipes there were multiple
New Orleans jazz combos marching and many feathered American Indians on
horseback. |
