Lundi Gras Festival FansThe Zulu Social aid & Pleasure Club Inc. have played an integral part in Mardi Gras for decades and has continued to add fun filled activities for members and visitors to enjoy while at the same time adding a boost to the economy of New Orleans.

The Zulu’s Lundi Gras Festival began in 1993 from an idea by George Rainey of Zulu and Ms. Karen Noles of the Audubon Nature Institute. The purpose of this activity was to have an event along the riverfront the Monday before Mardi Gras Day involving Zulu Float Characters and culminating with the arrival of King and Queen Zulu.
