A whole weekend of music, food and sunshine. What could be better? Two weeks before Jazz Fest is the French Quarter Fest. What is the French Quarter Fest? From their page:
The award-winning French Quarter Festival is Louisiana's largest free music
event, a three-day local music showcase scattered throughout the French Quarter
in New Orleans, Louisiana. There are music performances on 15 stages. The
community festival also features the "World's Largest Jazz Brunch," which are
the festival food booths operated by nearly 60 local chefs and restaurants
throughout the festival weekend.
You won't see any Billy Joels or Jimmy Buffets at the French Quarter Fest. But you will see some great musicians. Theresa Anderson will be there. Amanda Shaw will be there. Trombone Shorty will be there. I could go on and on, there will be a lot of great musicians. And unlike the Jazz Fest, all the music if free.
There will also be a lot of food. Now the food, unfortuanately is not free. Two things New Orleans is known for, music and food. Both will be at the French Quarter Fest.
Hopefully after the weekned is over I'll have some great pictures to post and some great memories to write about. I can't wait, this is going to be a good weekend.
