One of the biggest and grandest of the night parades is Bacchus, which rolls on the Sunday before Mardi Gras. The floats are beautiful and the bands are plentiful but everyone goes out to see the celebrity guest who is invited to become the King of Bacchus. It is usually a comedian or movie star and this year they
chose Will Farrell who is in town making a movie. Well, he was spectacular. He was like a little child.
He dug into his pile of dubloons and beads and shoveled them up into the sky with a look of joy on his
face. I have to say, he was the best Bacchus I ever saw. And, as he him self said "All Hail Me". What a nut!
