New Orleans Vietnamese Pho Festival, October 19, 2013



October 19, 2013,

This is on the West bank in New Orleans.  It was the Pho Festival opening.  It's a core ceremony for the Vietnamese American community in New Orleans.

We saw World War 2 Vietnamese veterans from the Army, Navy and Air Force doing  a color guard ceremony, full of marching, flags, rifles and swords.

Then, after a number of ridiculous and unprofessional talks by 5 members of the local New Orleans government, ceremonies closed with kids in dancing dragon outfits, fireworks, and a yummy celebration of Vietnamese food and Pho noodle soup.
