French Quarter Fest

By Tess

Quarter Fest was massive this year- or so I hear. We didn’t go, despite being all set to. Friday ended up being a busy workday, and Saturday followed suit.

Sunday I went down to the Quarter with Beth who’d come back to NOLA for the Fest. She’d worn herself out the day before with the crowds (not to mention badly chosen footwear- it makes allll the difference on those cobblestones), so we had beignets and wandered around for a few hours before heading back Uptown for a lazy afternoon of drinking and eating etouffee in the sun.

All in all it was an excellent tradeoff.

The below is notable only because it’s the only photo taken in the French Quarter on Sunday that doesn’t involve a mob of people, plus there’s a hibiscus, so that works out well.

About NNO

Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~

I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

So now I own a NOLA-themed shop , and am part time at the Preservation Resource Center, which works to "preserve the historic neighborhoods that make New Orleans unique." I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and play in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
