Club Mission
The 6t’9 Social Aid & Pleasure Club models itself after the traditional Benevolent Associations of New Orleans and celebrates in the creation of innovative parades.
From our inception, we have engaged in social aid projects, including the first ever house gutting party in the Lower 9th Ward, assistance rebuilding the House of Dance and Feathers and donating school supplies for the Fi-Yi-Yi/Backstreet Cultural Museum Back to School Picnic.
When two of our members were injured in a near fatal car crash we engaged in a fund raising campaign for them. It is central to our mission to help our membership in times of crisis.
Our signature event is our Halloween Parade which always rolls the Saturday night before Halloween, and we have created an adults-only Valentine Parade. All funds are generated solely by membership dues, business sponsorships and donations. We also raise money for our activities at our annual KontraFlow Festival outside of Jazz Fest.

NEW
ORLEANS MARDI GRAS
New Orleans….the mere mention of the name conjures
up pictures of floats, maskers, beads, doubloons
and the pure joy of Mardi Gras. From the family
atmosphere of St. Charles and Napoleon Avenues,
to the party feel of the downtown and French Quarter
areas, there is a place to parade watch for everyone
of every age and size. The celebration that is Mardi
Gras is deeply rooted in the French tradition of
New Orleans. Begun as a "New World" carryover
from the pre-Lenten Parisian Mardi Gras, the New
Orleans festivities evolved from private balls to
foot parades to float parades (started in the mid
1800s) to the extravaganzas of today. The organizations
that provide the Mardi Gras parades and balls are
called "krewes". All do so at their own
expense, thus providing what has many times been
called the "Greatest Free Show on Earth".
The Mardi Gras celebration begins on January 6 (Feast
of the Epiphany also known as Kings Day) and continues
through Mardi Gras Day (the day before Ash Wednesday).
The traditional "king cake" is associated
with and eaten during the entire Mardi Gras season.
Also during this time, most carnival krewes have
their balls or supper dances. Formal parades in
New Orleans and the surrounding parishes begin about
two weeks before Mardi Gras Day. The festivities
reach a crescendo on the weekend before Mardi Gras
Day and that level continues through Fat Tuesday.
Houses, lampposts, people, and even horses are dressed
in the colors ofMardi Gras-purple, green and gold.
New Orleans for a brief time each year is transformed
into a place where the everyday world is cast aside.
Beads, doubloons, cups, and numerous other krewe
throws are tossed to thousands of happy parade goers
shouting,
"Throw me something, mister. "
Laissez les bon temps rouler.
THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ &
HERITAGE FESTIVAL
The Jazz & Heritage Festival has been a growing
event each year. Setting record crowds the past
few years. This two weekend festival has drawn the
likes of many top entertainers, such as Paul Simon,Santana,
B.B. King, and many more. This event always seems
to out do itself every year. The festival always
falls on the last weekend in April and the first
weekend in May. It may be springtime, but do not
count on all to comfortable temperatures. While
average highs are only in the lower 80's, the combination
between the large crowds and the lack of shade make
for a surprisingly hot time. Another great thing
about this festival is it gives you an opportuinity
to sample just about every local cuisine you can
think of. (Tip: Get your Crawfish Bread & Crawfish
Monica early in the day. You don't want to waste
time standing in line for these great items, when
you could be out dancing to great artist). Remember
to bring comfortable clothes and shoes and sunscreen
and hat to enjoy the festival to its fullest.
Happy Jazz Fest!!!!
