Photos: Zulu parade an adventure in fantasy and festivity

The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club kicked off the Mardi Gras Day parades in grand style, exuding warmth despite the morning chill. King George V. Rainey and Queen Kailyn L. Rainey reigned over the 42-float parade with the theme “Zulu Celebrates Fantasy and Adventure.” A trombone player bellows out a note behind the Zulu Tramps, the krewe’s own walking troupe.   (Zach Brien, UptownMessenger.com)
