Loading ...SPRING FESTIVALS IN NEW ORLEANS
After Mardi Gras in February, New Orleans is host to two magnificent festivals in April; you can join a free, three-day party at The French Quarter Festival. The French Quarter is the oldest area in the city, properly known as Vieux Carre and founded by the French in 1718.
Woldenberg Park, Royal and Bourbon Street and the Old Mint provide ten stages to offer musical entertainment from Country to Classic styles. The foodies can head for the booths in Jackson Square and Woldenberg to sample everything from crawfish pasta to alligator sausage. Kids can enjoy face painting, hat making and a chance to play in a jazz band at the Aquarium at the Americas Plaza. Do not miss a ride on the “Ladies in Red,” the famous streetcars in the streets along the banks of the Mississippi. There is fun, food and music for all at the French Quarter Festival.
The last weekend in April to the first weekend in May also sees another six day celebration in New Orleans, with the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. This is an extravaganza of music, food, culture and crafts at the Fairgrounds Racetrack.
Music lovers can enjoy Jazz, Country, Blues, Pop, Gospel and New Orleans Funk, simultaneously from multiple stages. Three major Craft Fairs are also held at the Jazz Fest.
This is the Festival for food!! 100 booths will offer Louisiana and International dishes. How about, Crawfish Monica, Cochon de Lait Po-Boy, Pheasant-Quail-Andouille Gumbo, Smothered Cabbage and Cornbread and Italian Muffuletta. Your mouth must be watering!
These are two fabulous Spring Festivals – especially for the music and food lovers.
