In 1880, Russia’s Grand Duke Alexei visited Louisiana.Perhaps the highlightof this trip was the moment this real blueblood bowed down to the Kings of theNew OrleansCarnival.
At that moment, Russian culture touched a people with a strong presence and a vibrant personality all their own.
Well over 100 years later, Moscow Nights, Inc. continues that grand tradition started by the celebrated son of Tsar Alexander II, adding a bit of Russian excitement to an area well known for French, Spanish, Sicilian, and African traditions.
