French Quarter Festival


In 1984 the Louisiana World Exposition opened in New Orleans and the city was eager to show off its new improvements. They kicked it off with a festival, and the ending product of the festival ended up producing another festival- The French Quarter Festival. Second right behind JazzFest, this festival is the one of the most popular in New Orleans. In the last year it has grown so much that it has been bumped up from three to four whole days of events.

This year the festival is held from April 11 to April 14th. More than 1300 musicians are scheduled to perform over the course of the four days and more than 60 restaurants are going to be setting up shop in three key locations. 
This year, as the French Quarter Festival goes into its 30th year, it has since mushroomed into the second-largest festival held in New Orleans. Second only to JazzFest. It has grown so popular, in fact, that last year the event was expanded from three to four full days of events. Also on Saturday night there is going to be a firework display right over the Mississippi River. Last but not least, the best thing about it is that it's free!

  1. Being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
