The Revolution Social Aid & Marching Club annual parade will take place this Sunday (March 24), starting 1:00 p.m. at Armstrong Park (corner of Rampart and St. Phillip Streets) and winding up at Hunters Field (1600 North Claiborne Street). The event is sponsored by the Backstreet Cultural Museum, the Treme community group that’s devoted to keeping New Orleans traditions alive and chronicling each year’s jazz funerals.
Info & details: Backstreet Cultural MuseumLast Sunday (March 17) marked the annual Mardi Gras Indian Super Sunday parade.

Enjoy her shots as well as others from the post-parade’s celebration below… and expect a full Super Sunday photo wrap soon!
