The
Easter Sunday in New Orleans is always marked by the flamboyance and fun-loving
atmosphere of different parades, and all those parades have parties before and
after that are open to the public.
The parade which will roll first is the
Historic French Quarter Parade. It started by the daughter of Count Arnaud long
ago. The Parade of carriages and convertibles will leave Arnaud's Restaurant at
10:30 a.m. It will roll down Bienville Street to Dauphine Street, Iberville
Street, and Bourbon Street. It will then turn onto Toulouse Street to Royal
Street. Participants will promenade in Jackson Square before attending the noon
Mass at St. Louis Cathedral, after which they go back to Arnaud's.
Another
popular and well attended event is the Chris Owens Easter Parade. The
celebration starts at the Astor Crowne Hotel Ballroom at 11:00 a.m. with a
continental breakfast, Hat Contest and entertainment. The parade rolls at 1
p.m. through the French Quarter.
