Courir de Mardi Gras, 2020
Church Point, Louisiana
This is the traditional Cajun French Mardi Gras. It is a 'courir' or run led by the Capitane on horseback. Masked and costumed participants go from house to house in rural Louisana begging and subsequently chasing chickens for the gumbo pot in wet and muddy fields. The tradition and costumes trace back to medieval France.
