Festivals in Louisiana

A new year and a whole new season of festivals including the Cajun Mardi Gras or Courir de Mardi Gras in Louisiana. This is not a complete list but some that I have gleaned from the internet that look interesting.  Above and below, images from Courir de Mardi Gras in South Louisiana in the late 1980's.  Fat Tuesday is coming up soon, February 17, 2015.
