The 2023 French Quarter Easter Parade
The Krewe of Dolly adopted a bunny theme for the day.
Formerly known as the Chris Owens Easter Parade – named after the late and legendary Bourbon Street performer who founded it – the 38th annual celebration rollicked through the French Quarter early Easter afternoon. Photographer Andrew Simoneaux also caught a pre-parade wedding that took place right before the Gay Easter Parade, the final event of the day.

Some felt Chris Owens was present in spirit.
Some locals were baffled by the parade’s name change to the more generic French Quarter Easter Parade.
As the Gay Parade gathered for their own march later in the day, a wedding celebration raised spirits. Literally.
