This year was the first one in a long time that I wasn’t able to attend all three days of the annual Heritage Festival in Gretna LA. But, despite the fact that I missed Sunday, I was still able to get some pictures and video of all of the festivities. The festival seems to get…
Finally! One of my favorite weekends on the West Bank has arrived, complete with food, music, games, rides, family and friends. The Gretna Heritage Festival opens today at 4:00 and what could make it more special for me than my husband’s band, Chicken on the Bone, kicking things off on the Old Post Office Stage…
The Friday night summertime concerts are back at the Westwego Farmer and Fisheries Market starting this weekend. If you’ve never been to one of the shows, it’s a great way to spend a Friday evening and you are sure to run into someone you know. Bring your chairs, bring your blankets, bring your kids, bring…
Whoever was in charge of getting the word out about this event didn’t do a very good job…only about 100 people showed up on Saturday for the Marine Corps Band concert in Brechtel Park. The silver lining for those of us who attended was it turned out to be almost a private event with the…
Who doesn’t love a military band? Saturday afternoon, we have a chance to attend a free Armed Forces Day Concert in Brechtel Park in Algiers. If this is even half as much fun as when the Navy band played in the park, it will be a fantastic way to end your day. Pack an ice…
The 2011 French Quarter Festival kicked off on Thursday, but this weekend is when the real crowds will be out in the streets, listening to free live music, eating (and eating and eating some more) our wonderful cuisine and enjoying the sights and sounds of New Orleans. If you haven’t made your plans yet, here…
Over the weekend, the U.S. Navy Band put on a free concert at Brechtel Park in Algiers. We took advantage of the glorious weather and set up our lawn chairs to enjoy an afternoon of music that went from big band to swing to contemporary pop. Although the more modern selections were good, it was…
Looking for the 2011 Westwego Farmer’s Market concert schedule? Find it here. Once again, I missed the opening of the 2010 summer concerts at the farmer’s market in Westwego. One day, I’ll get it together and be there for the first one, but in the meantime there is a great line up of fun and…
You know that fall is near when the buzz on the West Bank is all about the Gretna Heritage Festival and you block out your Friday nights for the Back to the River concerts. In years past, the levee was covered in blankets for the free concerts, but this year the City of Gretna has…
Now that Wednesdays in the Square is complete, it’s time for the party to move on over to the West Bank. Starting on June 24, 2009, the free summer concerts return to Algiers Point each Wednesday evening until August 12th. I love Wednesdays on the Point, since it means that we have something fun to do…
