Second line parades are part of the cultural heritage of New Orleans. The first line, or main line, typically consists of a brass band and the parade’s primary participants. The second line consists of followers who just want to dance and enjoy the festive music. These parades are a common occurrence throughout the city. The second line of this wedding parade was recorded as they passed through the French Quarter.
