file' gumbo, alligator sausage, Jamaican chicken, crawfish bread,
barbeque ribs, seafood pasta, catfish po-boys, peach cobbler, pecan
pie, and many more New Orleans delicacies. There are other attractions
to wet your festive appetite. Everyone can join in a second line as the

thousands of revelers wearing their colorful flamboyant costumes. Who
knows -- you may be one of the lucky ones to receive a treasured
carnival throw -- the Zulu Lundigras Coconut! Also, witness the arrival
of former Zulu Kings by U.S. Coast Guard Cutter along with their
entourage.
