Vendredi Gras!!!
It may be a little damp out there...but that's not gonna slow us down tonight!! Happy Vendredi Gras!!!
The Krewe of Hermes kick off the parades Uptown at 6:00 pm!! The founding fathers of Hermes were local businessmen who formed and incorporated their organization in 1936. The first ball and parade were held in 1937. As per tradition, the Hermes captain leads the procession in full regalia on a white horse. Often named one of the most beautiful carnival parades of the season....you don't want to miss this one!
Le Krewe d'Etat rolls at 6:30 pm (Nola.com says 6:30 and 6:00...map says 6:00...either way..come out early so you don't miss a thang!!)....The highly satirical krewe keeps its theme secret until the parade rolls. The name is a pun on "coup d'etat", which is the takeover of a ruling party by an outside force. The krewe "heeds only edicts from their Dictator, whose identity is never revealed." The organization's most coveted throw is a strand of glow-in-the-dark beads with green eyeballs.
The famed Budweiser Clydesdales will lead the parade up the longer Uptown-to-Downtown route, an idea initiated by the D'Etat captain. Nearly a dozen marching bands (St. Augustine, Brother Martin High School, Citadel's Summerall Guard, Central Lafourche High School, the St. Charles Streetcar Band and others) are also scheduled to provide musical accompaniment as the parade sojourns through town. The identity of the "Dictator," as the D'Etat monarch is known, is never revealed. He will ride on his own signature float, followed by the Dictator's Banana Wagon, the High Priest float and others.
Established in 2000, the Krewe of Morpheus is named for the god of dreams and follows d'Etat at 7:00 pm! The krewe strives to be both inclusive in membership as well as provide parade goers an 'old-school' parade experience. Morpheus is one of the largest co-ed krewes in the area and kicks off the long weekend leading up to Mardi Gras.
And after the parades you got music!!!
Sorry, folks, I'm feeling lazy...the morning after parades will do that to you...don't forget the free shows at the Howlin' Wolf the next few days - Check out Chickie Wah Wah's (2828 Canal) Endymion party tomorrow (great place for music, food and clean bathrooms!!)
And for all the fun check click on the WWOZ Livewire! And tune into 90.7 FM and http://www.wwoz.org/ from 11 am to 2:00 pm for the incredible Louisiana Music Party with my hubby Bill deTurk!!! See you later!
The Krewe of Hermes kick off the parades Uptown at 6:00 pm!! The founding fathers of Hermes were local businessmen who formed and incorporated their organization in 1936. The first ball and parade were held in 1937. As per tradition, the Hermes captain leads the procession in full regalia on a white horse. Often named one of the most beautiful carnival parades of the season....you don't want to miss this one!
Le Krewe d'Etat rolls at 6:30 pm (Nola.com says 6:30 and 6:00...map says 6:00...either way..come out early so you don't miss a thang!!)....The highly satirical krewe keeps its theme secret until the parade rolls. The name is a pun on "coup d'etat", which is the takeover of a ruling party by an outside force. The krewe "heeds only edicts from their Dictator, whose identity is never revealed." The organization's most coveted throw is a strand of glow-in-the-dark beads with green eyeballs.
The famed Budweiser Clydesdales will lead the parade up the longer Uptown-to-Downtown route, an idea initiated by the D'Etat captain. Nearly a dozen marching bands (St. Augustine, Brother Martin High School, Citadel's Summerall Guard, Central Lafourche High School, the St. Charles Streetcar Band and others) are also scheduled to provide musical accompaniment as the parade sojourns through town. The identity of the "Dictator," as the D'Etat monarch is known, is never revealed. He will ride on his own signature float, followed by the Dictator's Banana Wagon, the High Priest float and others.
Established in 2000, the Krewe of Morpheus is named for the god of dreams and follows d'Etat at 7:00 pm! The krewe strives to be both inclusive in membership as well as provide parade goers an 'old-school' parade experience. Morpheus is one of the largest co-ed krewes in the area and kicks off the long weekend leading up to Mardi Gras.
And after the parades you got music!!!
Sorry, folks, I'm feeling lazy...the morning after parades will do that to you...don't forget the free shows at the Howlin' Wolf the next few days - Check out Chickie Wah Wah's (2828 Canal) Endymion party tomorrow (great place for music, food and clean bathrooms!!)

Happy Jeudi Gras!!!
Happy Jeudi Gras Everybody...the parades keep on rolling along!!
First up this evening are the Knights of Babylon at 5:45 pm....Formed in 1939 by professional men of New Orleans, the Knights of Babylon proudly adhere to traditional float design, which has remain unchanged for over 60 years. Also according to tradition, they continue to light floats with flambeaux and ride on 12-man floats. The king's float is drawn by a team of mules, followed by 12 riding lieutenants. Collectors of Mardi Gras throws are expected to line the route in droves, in quest of Babylon's exclusive jester heads and hats, Knights of Babylon backpacks, Knights of Babylon lighted disc necklaces, soft baseballs, cups and doubloons.
Following right behind is the highly secretive Knights of Chaos, formed by former members of the Knights of Momus, first paraded on the traditional Uptown route in 2000 and does not unveil its theme until the procession takes to the streets.
Baseball-type collectible cards, depicting each float and with a description of that particular title, will be thrown by Chaos members. This tradition began in 2006 and was the first of its kind in the history of Carnival throws. Plentiful beads and trinkets are also promised, including Chaos Orange Demon lighted beads, plus plush Chaos knights, float-specific cups and more. Also expected to be thrown to spectators will be doubloons and many trinkets signifying the generosity of the riders.
And rounding up the evening the Krewe of Muses rolls on a slightly different parade route (see below), named for the daughters of Zeus and patrons of the arts and sciences, is New Orleans' only all-female night parade. The parade has become one of Mardi Gras' favorites, thanks not only to its humorous and biting parade themes, but also for its sought-after throws....SHOES!! Muses began parading in 2000 and is the only all-female krewe to roll at night.
And AFTER the parades there's much more!!!
