The Saturday before Halloween marks the date of one of the year’s most anticipated parades: Krewe of Boo. Extravagant Kern Studios floats rolled through the Vieux Carré accompanied by more than a dozen of New Orleans’ quirkiest krewes and dance groups all the way to Mardi Gras World on the river, where costumed characters of all kinds danced the night away to the sounds of Flow Tribe and the Pimps of Joytime at Spook Fest 2013. OffBeat contributing photographer, Kim Welsh, was there to capture the revelry (and to mask herself). Enjoy some of her photos below…
