It’s Carnival Time {Sunday}

 

Carnival Sunday is always a fun-filled day of friends and neighbors and lots of drinks, food, and parades. The Sunday before Mardi Gras brings Uptown 4 parades the first of which starts at 11:00 AM and the last at 5:30 PM. Our day lasted until about 9:00 PM with the last of the Bacchus floats.

Carnival Sunday’s four parades are Okeanos, Mid-City, Thoth, and Bacchus.

For the first three, we gathered at the corner of Magazine and Cadiz Streets(our fave spot this year), and for Bacchus we moved to the corner of Napoleon Avenue and Perrier Street.

It was a great weather day, and a perfect day for the parades. The crowds were extremely thick along the route.

  2. Happy Lundi Gras! Hoping you are recuperating nicely from this season's festivities. That Man's oldest (who lives on Cadiz one block down from Magazine btw) is a member of the Muffalotta's and I think after dancing in all the parades she's probably doing the same. Sending good thoughts tomorrow's weather is nicer than today's!

  7. What awesome fun it's had! Great Mardi Gras time, I always wanted to go to NO for MG. Maybe some day. In the meantime I just did a tablescape to honor it.
    Happy week.
