Carnival season : Saints Super Bowl trip means rescheduled Carnival parades in New Orleans
Saints Super Bowl
NEW ORLEANS — Carnival season – which sees more than 70 parades roll through greater New Orleans before Fat Tuesday – is getting one more.
The Saints-crazed city plans to celebrate the team’s first-ever trip to the Super Bowl with a parade to honour them.
“There will be some type of massive parade in the city of New Orleans win or lose,” Mayor Ray Nagin told reporters Tuesday night.
Although his office tried to back away from the certainty of a parade on Wednesday, Nagin said he had already begun discussions with Saints officials and others.
“It’s not set in concrete yet,” Barry Kern said on Wednesday. “But I think it will be by the end of the day.”
One of the many things to be decided is who would pay for the parade.
New Orleans’ latest budget cut funding in several areas and put most city offices on a four-day week.
