Southern Decadence 2014 has paraded off down the street into the sunset, but we can all look back and enjoy the amazing images it left behind.
Photographer Kim Welsh hit the streets of the French Quarter for the annual Sunday afternoon walking parade that wound its way down Royal Street, up St. Louis to Rampart, and up St. Ann to Bourbon and Dumaine.
Check out the colorful costumes, marching Krewes, brass bands, and more below.
