French Quarter Fest in the Vieux Carré is “The Largest Showcase of Louisiana Music in the World.” Not only is it FREE, but it’s a great opportunity to introduce your kids to the music and culture you love. And this year, they’re offering something new: the Chevron STEM Boat: A Voyage of Discovery on the Riverboat City of New Orleans!
This is an opportunity for your children to delve into the wonders of maritime science, marine biology, and the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana’s waterways and boats. The STEM Zone will take place Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
You can also listen to Calliope Concerts from the Steamboat Natchez on the Riverfront every morning during French Quarter Fest from 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. And the whole family can take free dance lessons at the French Market Traditional Jazz Stage and at the Chevron Stage
Come enjoy fantastic music! Enjoy New Orleans’ food from places like Tujague’s, Landry’s Seafood House, New Orleans School of Cooking, and Cafe Beignet.
