Philadelphia Steuben parade

What does New Orleans have to do with Germany? Why are these guys throwing Mardi Gras beads during a German parade? Well, look at the colors of the Mardi Gras beads: Black, red and gold. Yes, the colors of Germany. Also this genius idea of using Mardi Gras beads to spice up the Philadelphia Steuben parade (which is dominated by men and women in traditional German costumes - nice, no doubt!) - which was very popular with the crowd - stems from our special German-New Orleans connection. The German girl meeting the man of her dreams in New Orleans and so on......Anyway, enjoy the pictures (Click link below).
