Annual celebration of local cuisine, live music, art, and theater
"I attend New Orleans’s free, four-day festival held along the Mississippi River and appreciate its beloved marketplace of iconic food — with more than 60 local vendors it’s essential to figure out what you want to eat ahead of time and plot your day around it." - Clair Lorell
"A perennial favorite for both food and music, French Quarter Fest returns with a promising lineup that includes Big Freedia, DJ Raj Smoove, Irma Thomas, John Boutté, and Ìfé — keep an eye out for announcements on the 2024 culinary lineup." - Justine Jones
"I look forward to the four-day French Quarter Fest, a free annual favorite as much for its local food marketplace as for its music lineup, which has already announced top local culinary names joining this year’s roster." - Clair Lorell
"Originally rescheduled for fall alongside other spring festivals, the French Quarter Festival ultimately canceled its 2021 event in recent weeks because of rising COVID cases driven by the delta variant and low vaccination rates, and organizers have said they plan to return in 2022." - Clair Lorell
"I noted that French Quarter Fest, which would normally take place in the spring, was among the festivals postponed to the fall in hopes of better pandemic-related conditions; officials warned measures like mask mandates for unvaccinated attendees and capacity limits could be implemented if the Delta variant continues to spread." - Clair Lorell
