Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the hours of the festival:

Saturday, June 27th 11am - 9 pm

Sunday, June 28th 11am - 8 pm

What is the French Quarter?

The French Quarter is a little bit of New Orleans that we have recreated at the festival.  Food, arts & crafts as well as various other "shops" are lining Bourbon Street in a festive Mardi Gras atmosphere. 

The French Quarter also includes our very own Jazz & Blues club called "Club N'Orleans".  There will be workshops given on stage during the day and live performances during the night.  Imagine relaxing in a Jazz/Blues club with a bignet and a coffee - in an outside French Quarter courtyard and you get the idea!

What do the full price festival tickets provide?

Tickets provide access all day to all public areas of the festival starting at 11:00 am.  VIP Passes provide back stage access, two alcoholic drinks (beer or wine), one meal and reserved seats.
