A few pictures from too brief of a visit to the French Quarter Festival, New Orleans, LA, Saturday, April 14, 2007. After the rain, but before Kermit Ruffins set and wedding. Also got sidetracked by Central Grocery.
French Quarter Festival is (almost) always 2 weeks before Jazz Fest and is FREE! http://www.frenchquarterfestivals.com/
Jackson Square and St Louis Cathedral (actually Basilica, me thinks), New Orleans, LA.
A number of food vendors set up booths there.
