Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club

Historia

First appearing in 1909, Zulu is one of the most historically significant Black Carnival organizations and rolls first on Fat Tuesday morning. Its hand-painted coconut is so prized - and once so contested in court - that after a 1987 insurance and liability crisis, Louisiana passed the "Coconut Bill" in 1988 to protect the tradition. Coconuts are handed down from the floats, never thrown.

The classic Carnival corridor, and where nearly every major parade rolls. Most line up Uptown, head down St. Charles Avenue under the oaks, and finish on Canal Street downtown.
