Lower Ninth Ward Steppers
The Parade
The Lower Ninth Ward Steppers roll under the Big Nine umbrella through the Lower Ninth Ward. The exact route is released before the parade.
Founded in 2008 by a handful of adults and about seven kids, the Steppers are a family-first club that came up in the neighborhood’s post-Katrina recovery.

One Love, Lower Nine.
The Lower Ninth Ward Steppers were founded in 2008 by Minor Wilson, Lisa Porters, Justiner Turner, Durand Williams, Millet Washington, and about seven kids — a family-rooted club born in the recovery years after the storm.
A separate club in their own right, the Steppers parade under the Big Nine’s umbrella — they couldn’t get their own date, so they roll with their Lower Nine family, carrying the “One Love” spirit through the neighborhood.
One love. Lower Nine.
