New Orleans is all about two things: food and music. When you combine the two, it makes for an epic weekend of festival fun that’s simply too good to pass up. From October 18-20, be sure to pass through Lafayette Square where you can experience the Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival, one of the most delicious festivals in New Orleans. Just be sure to come hungry and be prepared to dance the day away to come incredible blues music.
Lafayette Square is a tiny but mighty park located in the heart of the Central Business District.
This year, you can grab some grub from local restaurants like The Joint, Central City BBQ, Bratz Y’all, Walkers BBQ, LA23 BBQ, and many others. There will also be ice cream from Quintin’s Ice Cream, Loretta’s Authentic Pralines will set up shop, as well as delicious crepes from Crepes a la Carte.
Get a head start on your holiday shopping by taking a stroll through their arts market, with 22 local and regional artists selling hand-crafted artworks and furnishings.
The Central City Blues and BBQ Festival takes place October 18- 20, 2019 at Lafayette Square Park.
Friday: 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
