Last night, Thursday January 6, was Twelfth Night, marking the beginning of the 2011 Carnival season. In its honor, the third annual St. Joan of Arc Parade marched through the French Quarter, making it the first “Mardi Gras” parade of the new year. Councilwoman Kristen Palmer even rode a horse dressed as Joan of Arc, as the parade made its way to the Joan of Arc Statue at the French Market. All photos were taken by Kim Welsh.
