French Quarter Festival Parade, New Orleans, 1987

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: French Quarter Festival Parade, New Orleans, probably 1987.

Notes: Website give date as "c. 1980" but first French Quarter Festival was held in 1984. As it was generally held on consecutive Friday Saturday and Sundays, the banner reading April 10, 11, 12 would make the year 1987. This probably shows the opening parade on the first day.
Photo shows parade coming up Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. View is from balcony, looking upriver, with the 700 block of Bourbon in the foreground and skyline of the Business District in the background. At front of parade is a banner reading "French Quarter is for Everyone - French Quarter Festival - April 10, 11, 12". Behind are people carrying raised parasols, including Ronnie Kole in tan jacket; others may be members of New Orleans City Council but faces are not clear. Behind is a brass band; Big Al Carson on Sousaphone is recognizable. Behind are more people with parasols, vehicles, what appear to be a pair of large costume heads, and a high school marching group and band. Along the route people watch from sidewalks and balconies.
