Looking for a great weekend geta-way? Look no further than this weekend in New Orleans.

the Tropical Isle Stage, the lineup includes a Sunday morning Gospel performance from Betty Winn and One-A-Chord. “I’ve been several times, and love it! It offers a lot of the same music as Jazz Fest, and a lot of the same food too, but nowhere near as crowded,” said New Orleans born and raised, but current Pensacola attorney, Edward Cangelosi. “It’s definitely worth checking out.” French Quarter Festival’s Culinary Lineup, sponsored by Broussard’s Restaurant and Courtyard, offers attendees the opportunity to sample the most famous, can’t-miss dishes in the city. The culinary lineup includes decadent traditional options like Cochon de Lait Poboys, Crabmeat-stuffed Chargrilled Oysters, and Baked Alaska, as well as contemporary and fresh healthy choices like Tujague’s Marinated Crab Claw Remoulade. The French Quarter Festival presented by Chevron is produced by French Quarter Festivals, Inc., the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which also produces Satchmo SummerFest presented by Chevron in August and Christmas New Orleans Style in December.
