NEW ORLEANS– It was a party in the park!  Today the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club hosted its annual Zulu Picnic.

The picnic was held at City Park’s Reunion Shelter where there were several activities including a contests for decorated coconuts and umbrellas.

These contests were for Zulu members to show off their artistic abilities and give a little preview of what kind of coconut and umbrella designs you may expect to see for Mardi Gras 2019.
