ABOUT

For the past 200 years, Mardi Gras in New Orleans has started the same way: At 5 a.m., The North Side Skull and Bone Gang leaves the Backstreet Cultural Museum and goes door to door, house to house, waking up the neighborhood and spreading a message of peace. As part of our ongoing “Leave with a Story” campaign, we partnered with documentary filmmaker Victoria Rivera to showcase the Gang’s journey – one of many timeless New Orleans traditions.
