French Quarter Fest

  • First-time performers like The Soul Rebels with Big Freedia, Ani DiFranco, and Samantha Fish left us spellbound.

The Food

  • Addis Nola, known for their Ethiopian cuisine, served up aromatic spices and hearty stews.
  • Vaucresson’s Sausage Co. delighted us with their Creole sausages, a true taste of Louisiana.
  • Ajun Cajun transported us to the bayou with their gumbo and crawfish étouffée.
  • And let’s not forget the iconic Miss Linda the Yakamein Lady, dishing out her legendary yakamein (a.k.a. “Old Sober”)—the ultimate New Orleans hangover cure.
