New Orleans Events

Touted as the largest FREE music festival in the South, the French Quarter Festival's 30th anniversary will feature more than 800 local musicians, over 65 of New Orleans' finest restaurants, free special events and fireworks on the Mississippi. The 2013 Festival opens on April 11 and winds down on April 14th and takes place throughout the historic French Quarter and along the Riverfront.

In a city renowned for its amazing cuisine, you can expect to find equally delicious food at its festivals and French Quarter Fest is no exception. Festival goers can enjoy signature offerings at the "World's Largest Jazz Brunch." From cochon de lait po-boys to hot boiled crawfish; from bbq shrimp to crawfish bisque; from white chocolate bread pudding to sweet potato pie...you'll find it all under the tents at French Quarter Fest. You just might have a tough time picking your favorites! Just don't eat too much...you may want to kick up your heels when the music starts.
