Welcome to the Jefferson City Buzzard Website. It is a source for everything pertaining to the Jefferson City Buzzards Marching Club. The Jefferson City Buzzards Marching Club is the oldest Mardi Gras Marching Club in the world.
The Buzzards march in four parades throughout the year. Two parades occur during Carnival Season in the New Orleans area. The first is the Practice Parade, which occurs several weeks before Mardi Gras Day. The final one is on Mardi Gras Day. The other two parades occur in Metairie, LA. These are the St. Patrick's Day Parade, on Metairie Road, and the Irish-Italian Parade on Veterans Blvd.
It is with heavy heart to annouce that long-time Buzzard, George Luft, has passed away. George was a Boardmember, Officer and Treasurer of the Buzzards. The membership cards with his signature are a treasured possession to all the members of the Buzzards organization.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a funeral service on Saturday, May 4 at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Memorial Blvd. Metairie, LA. Visitation will be held from 10 AM – 12 PM with a service to begin at 12 PM. Interment will follow at the Masonic Cemetery in New Orleans
