In this week’s special edition of the Italian American Power Hour host John Viola, just back from the Big Easy, presents a special travel journal sharing his multi-year relationship with one of his favorite Italian American events of the year, the Annual St. Joseph’s Day Weekend in New Orleans, LA.

This year, John had the honor of serving as the events honorary Grand Marshal and through interviews with some of his friends from the Sicilian American community and some personal insights into the history of St. Joseph’s Day, the Sicilian American community in New Orleans and the parade itself, he hopes to take you along with him as part of this very special weekend.
