532Decadence History
Since it was founded in 1781, New Orleans has marched to the beat of its own drum. For two centuries, those in control of the Louisiana state government have tried in vain to impose their prejudices on a city that is French, Spanish, Creole, African, Catholic, pagan and very gay (in both senses of the word). If nothing else, New Orleans knows how to throw a party, from the world-famous Mardi Gras to other, more specialized celebrations. (More)

2008 Grand Marshals
kk

As with most royalty, keeping track of Southern Decadence history can be a challenge. The year 2008 will be the 37th Southern Decadence celebration, but this will be only the 35th year with a Grand Marshal, since Grand Marshal selection did not begin until the third year of Southern Decadence. And 2008 gives us the 36th Grand Marshals, because the two Grand Marshals in 1978 were counted as numbers V and VI. And thanks to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Grand Marshals XXXIII reigned for both 2005 and 2006. Also, 2008 will feature the 35th parade, because there was no official parade in 1972 and 2005.
