New Orleans Carnival Balls: The Secret Side of Mardi Gras, 1870-1920
Jennifer Atkins
Mardi Gras festivities don't end after the parades roll through the streets; rather, a large part of the celebration continues unseen by the general public. Retreating to theatres, convention centres, and banquet halls, krewes spend the post-parade evening at lavish balls. Jennifer Atkins draws back the curtain on the origin of these soirees.
