Super Sunday Celebrations (Mardi Gras Indians) March 22, 2009

Every year, at Mardi Gras time, we make a new suit!

The mysteriousness and disorganization of this event adds to its charm. If you can find it, it makes some great photo opportunities.

from the Times Pic says:

Super Sunday celebrations
Taylor Park, Washington Avenue and LaSalle Street (Note from KK: LaSalle and Washington is Al Davis Playground Park, Taylor Park is actually a few blocks further towards the lake. Either way, it's Washington Avenue.)

Bayou St. John at Orleans Avenue

Let's try this again. On Sunday, weather permitting, New Orleanians experience one of the city's most colorful and unique celebrations when the Mardi Gras Indian tribes parade. Both the Uptown and Downtown tribes will meet Sunday showing off this year's suits.
