A group consisting of a band and religious leaders made a poignant procession down Bourbon Street on Thursday afternoon in anticipation of the street's reopening. The decision to reopen the street was made in preparation for the upcoming Sugar Bowl scheduled to commence at 3 p.m. local time.
In a touching gesture, religious leaders and the city's mayor came together to pay tribute to the victims of the previous day's tragic incident. They placed 14 roses and led a prayer, as confirmed by New Orleans police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick.
