Great music, great food, good location. This year they added helicopter rides and did not bring back the smashing the junk car for $ 2 «ride. The food court and dining area was under covered area along with the main stage which was great to be able to sit down in the shade and eat good food while listening to live music. There’s adequate chairs but folks recommend bringing your own lawn chairs. The carnival rides is always a big hit with the kids. This year they also added more carnival games. It’s a festival in New Orleans. Can’t go wrong with that. We’ll be back.
