STEPPIN' OUT "It's Carnival Time" 2019

Host Peggy Scott Laborde, along with Carnival historians Arthur Hardy and Errol Laborde, give their annual Mardi Gras overview.

Among this year’s topics is the growth of the Krewe of Iris membership, the 50th Anniversary of the Society of St. Anne walking club, and dates changes for the krewes of Chewbacchus and ‘tit Rəx. Additional topics include the route changes in the Jefferson Parish Mardi Gras schedule.

Laborde and Hardy will also discuss what’s new for the 2019 Mardi Gras, including efforts to throw environmentally friendly beads. And they will also look back at the 150th anniversary of the Twelfth Night Revelers and the 40th anniversary of the New Orleans Police Strike.
