The Parade at Home captures the resilience and creativity of New Orleans during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the spirit of Mardi Gras faced an unprecedented challenge. Instead of silencing Carnival, neighborhoods banded together to transform their celebrations, illustrating the deep connection between community, culture, and tradition. Featuring stunning photographs and soulful voices- such as Al "Carnival Time" Johnson, Bryan Batt, Rockin' Dopsie, Amanda Jones, and a foreword by Big Freedia- this book tells the story of how Mardi Gras is more than just an event; it's a way of life. Arranged by neighborhoods, The Parade at Home highlights the unique character of each area while showcasing the unity and hope that define New Orleans.
