Up Coming Special Events
by admin ~ May 16th, 2011In New Orleans, we look for any reason to play, eat and enjoy great music. And there is nothing like a good festival to make that happen. So in New Orleans we have festivals for everything imaginable. Now when we have a festival here, we don’t do what most places think of as “festival food” like corn dogs, hamburgers and funnel cake.
