I have never been a big fan of St. Patricks Day but a couple years ago I happened to be in New Orleans for St. Patrick's Day weekend and attended and took some pictures at a couple events. One of these was the annual St. Paddy's Day parade sponsored by Molly's at the Market in the French Quarter held on the Friday before St. Patrick's day. The parade commemorates Jim Monghan who was a long time businessman,bar owner and entrepreneur in the Quarter. Its a walking parade that start's at Molly's and winds its way through the Quarter and back to the bar. The parade features a number of brass bands-including the infamous Storyville Stompers- and several walking groups. It was a great little parade (I ended up in the parade marching along with one of the brass bands and the Camel Toe Lady Steppers- what fun!). Anyway, here's a few pix- parade happens again tomorrow down in New Orleans.
