Two second lines will parade through areas of Uptown New Orleans this weekend, one running the length of Central City on Saturday and another looping through the neighborhoods around Louisiana Avenue on Sunday.
The Lady Jetsetters, making up for an earlier parade that was canceled due to weather, will begin at noon Saturday on Washington Avenue beyond Broad Street and cut a long swath through Central City, passing down Martin Luther King Boulevard and ending on Dryades Street in Milan. The second line will feature the Stooges Brass Band.
The Ladies and Men of Unity Fifth Year Anniversary Parade is scheduled to begin at 11:45 p.m. Sunday at the Rock Bottom Lounge on Tchoupitoulas. Featuring the Hot 8 Brass Band, the second line will head up to Magazine Street, then Louisiana Avenue, St. Charles Avenue, loop through the corner of Central City, then follow Louisiana Avenue all the way back down to Tchoupitoulas.
That’s great about the second lines this weekend! They are terrific to watch.
