Immediately following the Greasing of the Poles at the Royal Sonesta, the Krewe of Bosom Buddies kicked off their walk through the French Quarter at the corner of St. Louis and Bourbon Street. Crowds lined up along both sides of the famous street to enjoy a day of walking parades in the beautiful sunshine.
