The staging of SuperKrewe Endymion is a great thing to see at least once. This year I arrived early and tried to wear out a camera. It is not often that Endymion rolls this early. Due to an approaching storm front the start time was pushed forward several hours and no way would I miss this opportunity to snap some photos of this parade in bright daylight.
Riders and celebrity guests come from all over the country to take part in this massive event. The best bands from many states participate as well. When rolling in full partyzilla mode, Endymion stretches out for two miles.
