the 20th anniversary of

Hurricane Katrina

August 29, 2025

The Annual March and Second Line

Each and every year since Hurricane Katrina, we have marked the anniversary by organizing a community led commemoration. Annually, we start the morning in the Lower 9th Ward where the levees broke, with a healing ceremony and a reading of the names of those who died. We then march through the streets until a brass band joins us at our half-way point to lead us the rest of the way in the New Orleans’ Second Line tradition. We end with a rally with speakers and performers.

Join us this year for the 20-year anniversary. More information will come soon. Check this page for regular updates.
