Son of a gun, a good time was had on Bayou St. John last weekend (May 17-19) as music filled the air, paddle boats bobbed along the banks, trapeze artists swung from the trees and burlesque dancers let it all hang out at the eighth annual Bayou Boogaloo. OffBeat photographer Kim Welsh had her camera handy and snapped these fun shots of the celebration. Highlights include pics of Bonerama, Fleur de Tease, Alvin Youngblood Hart, the Fi-Yi-Yi Mardi Gras Indians and more… Enjoy!
