Black Men of Labor, 6 t' 9 Second Lines Overlap in Downtown New Orleans Black Men of Labor (photo: Derek Bridges) Along with the huge bicentennial celebration in the Treme, a pair of second lines are keeping the party in the streets all day today in the 6th Ward and beyond. The prime pairing starts at 2:30 p.m., when the Black Men of Labor will hold their annual parade through Treme, beginning at Sweet Lorraine's (1931 St. Claude Ave.), and heading down N. Rampart and into the Treme.
Before that parade ends, the annual 6 t' 9 parade will start its annual crawl through the Treme, 7th Ward, St. Roch and the Marigny. The parade starts at 6 p.m. at 1020 St. Claude Ave., and proceeds to St. Bernard Ave. The parade runs to St. Roch Ave., then loops back to Elysian Fields. As always, Halloween costumes are highly encouraged. The Stooges Brass Band, Free Spirits Brass Band and Noisician Coalition will provide the music, while a host of marchers revel in their wake.
The routes pose the chance that the two parades will meet up near St. Bernard, which might prove messy or glorious depending on your viewpoint. |
