Easter progresses to the GoodChildren parade

By Tess

We’d been alerted to a new parading group here in the city by our good friend Beth, who is still in exile and gets totally, completely excited about such things. In her honor, we knew we just had to go!

They paraded down and took their name from St. Claude, which used to be called GoodChildren (Bons Enfants).

Luckily they were running late, because their first year was not quite as big a parade as we’re used to in the city, but that’s okay- about a hundred or so enthusiastic folks went on by, clearly having a wonderful time.

But that’s how these things go… by next year, word will have gotten around and it’ll be twice as big- by the 3rd year, it’ll be a vast bohemian expanse.

And just think, we’ll be able to say, “You should’ve been there when they started…”
