The fest runs all weekend, and tonight things get kickin' at 5:00 pm...Oh....and make sure you check out the ouzo daiquiri...it's a good one!

In the Bayou area??  Be sure to stop by the Pitot House (1440 Moss St.) for the Louisiana Landmarks Society and the New Orleans Nine Selection Committee for a reception for the release of The New Orleans Nine (9) Most Endangered Sites for 2010...the reception is from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.  For more info call 482-0312.
