The traditional colors of purple, gold and green gave way to the New Orleans Saints colors of black and gold as the Who Dat Nation turned out in force to celebrate their Saints, the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras.

In Algiers, the Krewe of Choctaw celebrated its 75th anniversary, depicting its parading history in 19 floats.The parade wound its way through Algiers, Terrytown and Gretna.
