TVD Recommends: St. Joseph’s Night Tribute to Big Chief Bo Dollis tonight, 3/19

No, he’s not dead. After the special event was announced on Facebook, rumors began circulating about whether the revered Mardi Gras Indian had passed away. This tribute is a way of giving him his flowers while he is still alive. It is scheduled for this evening from 5-7 PM at 1525 Louisiana Avenue. It is presented by the New Orleans Musicians Clinic.

The Mardi Gras Indians have been vexed by weather this season. Cold rain limited their activities on Fat Tuesday and the Indian Sunday parade was postponed this past weekend because of the threat of more rain.

But tonight’s St. Joseph’s Night marches should proceed without a hitch. If you’re out looking for Mardi Gras Indians downtown, a good spot is on St. Bernard Avenue between N. Claiborne and Rampart.

Uptown, the entire Central City neighborhood will be hopping from S. Claiborne to Dryades between Louisiana Avenue and M.L. King Blvd.
