1965 New Orleans Mardi Gras

The charming, old City of New Orleans, forever young in spirit, whoops it up for Mardi Gras, the annual celebration that precedes the austere days of Lent. Tourists and townspeople let inhibitions fall where they may as they eat, drink, and dance in the streets and at famous jazz joints like Pete's Place. Let us be gay and for Pete's sake who can blame them.
