Kanaval Ball

Oh wow!! The Kanaval Ball was a spectacular colorful, musical, whimsical show! Arcade Fire and Preservation Hall were amazing, of course! And I got a front row view. The Mahalia Jackson Theater was decked out with colors and lights with half the crowd in elaborate costumes. Plus I got to see my favorite Haitian Dancers!!
