NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — It’s a Lundi Gras tradition in New Orleans.
Harry Connick Junior’s Krewe of Orpheus paraded Uptown Monday evening, capping off the night with an extravagant Orpheuscapade celebration inside the Ernest Morial Convention Center.
This year’s parade featured big names including Castle star Nathan Fillion, who reigned as Monarch, along with actress and girlfriend Krista Allen, The Simpsons’ Harry Shearer, comedian Bianca Del Rio and Harry Connick Jr. himself!
As guests partied into the wee hours of the night, Connick sang and played the piano. Guests also rocked out to headliner Chevy Metal, a 1970’s cover band led by Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins.
