Fantastic weather, fantastic crowds, and mostly only the right kind of excitement — what a great “roll” for 2023!  Thank you for all your creativity, your attention to detail, and your enthusiastic, energetic performances. Thank you to all those who headed off problems before we noticed, from the foot soldiers warning of potholes to the people armed with safety pins, duct tape and zip ties.

View our glowing press coverage here and see videos of our parade in action here. Our volunteer photographers Kim Welsh and Gary H. Jones have posted more than 600 pictures of our parade, mass, second line and banquet from 2023 on our Shutterfly share site.  The Shutterfly site includes many photos of individuals (maybe even YOU!) High-res versions of the drone photos that have been circulating on social media are there too (thank you, Marco Rasi!).  Be sure to open the several different “albums” to see all this year’s photos. The password for the Shutterfly share site is Joan1412. You don’t need to be a member of Shutterfly or our share site to view photos, but if you create a free Shutterfly account you’ll also be able to save photos to your own account and from there order prints (including one-hour from Walgreens and CVS), make photo books, etc.  We’d love to see your photos too!  Request to become a site member if you’d like to use Shutterfly’s upload tool, or just email us if you just want to share a few good shots.
