NOJHF 2012: Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians

As I have said before, one of my favorite stages at JazzFest is the Jazz and Heritage Stage and one of my favorite things to see at this stage are the Mardi Gras Indians. On the Saturday of the first weekend of this year's Fest, I had the privelege to see one of my favorite Mardi Gras Indian tribes- Big Chief Walter Cook and Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians. Their suits were fantastic and oh so pretty and they put on a great show. Jazz Fest "man in charge" Quint Davis announced the group and danced briefly with them on stage- see if you can spot him in a couple of the pictures in the slideshow below. For me, this show was one of the highlights of this years fest. Hope you enjoy!
