St. Joan of Arc etching at St. Roch Cemetery
Photographed by me.
The St. Joan of Arc Parade rolled at Mardi Gras for the first time this Twelfth Night, January 6, 2009 and now has expanded into the multifaceted non-profit Joan of Arc Project.
Amy A. Kirk-Duvoisin founded the parade and project with the vision of putting "the French back in the French Quarter and the artistry back into Mardi Gras" with the traditional Mardi Gras walking parade, emphasizing the creation of handmade costumes and throws. The second annual St. Joan of Arc Parade will roll again on Twelfth Night 2010.
The Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc's French heritage and artistic events throughout the year can be found at The St. Joan of Arc Project. Yay! More reasons to party!
