Gay Easter Parade

Parades and parties are the order of the day again in New Orleans at Easter, this time when the city’s Gay community turns out to celebrate under the auspices of the Easter Grand Marshals. Thousands of spectators line the streets of the French Quarter to watch the passing floats, carriages, walking groups, bands and motorcycles. Cross-dressing and nudity is not permitted, but apart from that anything goes with the costumes and conviviality.

Venue: Streets of the French Quarter; Date: 4 April 2010 (Easter Sunday); Time: 4.30pm; Website: www.gayeasterparade.com
