Abstract
The Joan of Arc Parade, an annual marching event in the French Quarter of New Orleans, marks the passage from Christmas into Carnival. Begun in 2008, the parade contimues many New Orleans Carnival traditions and group structures while reflecting modern political and social attitudes. This paper draws on academic research, interviews, and participant observation to explore the evolving role of this parade and its organizers, the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc, in New Orleans Carnival celebrations.
