Sinbad the parade originated from Sinbad the Arabic mariner. The Sinbad Sinbad
the parade originated Krewe parades in Metairie, Louisiana. The Krewe of Sinbad
was founded in 1989 and will hold it’s tenth annual parade this year. Myth has
it that Sinbad was always having great adventures. One day he found himself in
front of a large rock. However, he discovered that it was actually a huge egg. A
large bird swooped down to snatch the egg. Sinbad tied is whole body to the
bird’s leg and was carried way into the sky. The bird made a crashing landing
and Sinbad quickly untied himself. Sinbad was now in a large valley full of
diamonds as big as his head. Suddenly, big chunks of meat fell down from the
heavens and were on top of the diamonds. The birds picked up the meet that
contained the diamonds as big as bowling balls and flew away. Sinbad roped some
of the big diamonds to his waist and covered himself up with a piece of meat
that he through across his back so that the birds would scoop him up. Sinbad was
dropped into a nest where he found a man. The man was dropping the meat to have
the bird’s pick up the meat and he would collect all of the diamonds. The man
later showed him the way to get back home. Sinbad was able to harness a bird by
using his head and the tools around him.
