We were highly skeptical of a pack of Canadians moving to New Orleans, forming a Krewe, and putting on a Haitian Kanaval parade during carnival.

Our fears were misplaced.

The Arcade Fire people (producers of the event) could not have been better grounded or more fun loving. There were thousands of Haitian dancers, medicine men, witch doctors, horn players, drummers, roustabouts and boulevardiers all trouping through Armstrong Park and deep into Treme.

It was a lovely scene.
