~Louisiana Festivals & Fairs - "In Da Boot We Party" poboy fest in Nola 10/27)
- Thread starter Mask
- Start date
PONCHATOULA – The sun is out, the weather is beautiful, and the strawberries are ripe. Must be Strawberry Fest!
News with a Twist will be in Ponchatoula all weekend to enjoy the music, food, and drinks.
We’re kicking things off with live shows at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. tonight.
If you’re out there, come by and tell us hi!
If you can’t make it, take a look at what you’re missing!
If you're coming to the NO, you want to come during the French Quarter Fest. The weather is usually great and the food, the music and the people are outstanding!!!! It's the Festival the locals go to. There is the Jazz Fest, which is a misnomer, little to no Jazz. It's a music festival, like the French Quarter, with a lot of different music genres and over priced in my opinion. Whereas, the French Quarter Fest has stages all throughout the French Quarter area and free to the public. All you have to do is bring your chairs, some money for food/alcohol and your set. I love it and I can't say enough good thing about this festival. I'm missing it right now because I decided to come New York for my wife's 50th birthday. Actually, poor planning on my part because I could've spent next weekend in NYC. She is enjoying being here, therefore, I'm enjoying it and I'll catch it next year.
Man I kinda missed everything yesterday got to the city around 8pm.
I'm glad because I had my crew plus two lil ones...I know atleast two of the five would've complained about the sun. They enjoyed the walking we did, my lil 7yr old ain't shy so she was the center of attention on a few occasions why music was playing. It didn't matter what tunes was playing she knew them.
On one corner she even it the drum sticks for the lil boys and did a lil something, a group of ladies passing by was like, "that lil girl did that".
The only problem was I really was going for the food, so that was the only negative.
Next year I'm thinking about catching the strawberry fest on Friday then the French quarter fest on Saturday.
All this brass just won gold! Congrats to @swampdonkeyjass for winning two years in a row at #BattleOfTheBands on the @morrisbartlawfirm Stage @fqfest! Props to @messycookersjazzband and #PerdidoBrassBand for playin' their ❤️s out! #fqfest17
