Sights seen at Lundi Gras: Zulu Colors, Coconuts and Court
The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, informally known as the Krewe of Zulu or just the Zulus, is a NOLA institution going back to 1909. The black krewe is named after Africa’s Zulu people, well known for their unbreakable spirits and ferocity in battle. Zulu’s signature hand-made painted coconut throws are probably the most sought-after throw of Carnival season. The Zulus host a festival down by the river on Lundi Gras.

Sights seen at NOLA Lundi Gras: Walking Human Statue Man
This guy may seem to be striding right along but is in fact standing stark still. Motionless, he has mastered the art of a crisp “Thank You” in response to tips, his lips as still as all the rest of him.
