The Marketplace and Music Everywhere!

Another beautiful Wednesday!!

On your way to the Square you can stop on over at Ditcharo's Restaurant & Pub (640 Carondelet) for a cold beer and some pre-Square music with the Chris Alford & Jesse Morrow Duo...they get started at 4:30 pm....so maybe skip out of work a little early today!!

Come on down to Lafayette Square for another stellar line-up for this year's concert series....there will be crafts, food and libations....Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers plus Coot get things movin' this evening at 5:00 pm - and check out the entire line-up so you can make your plans.

Head on over to Lakeview for Swing into Spring! at the Harrison Avenue Marketplace presented by Beacon of Hope tonight from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the parking lot of Lakeview Grocery at 801 Harrison Avenue.  You'll enjoy music by The Wasted Lives, a honky-tonk band with a New Orleans twist, and NOLA Jitterbugs will also be performing and teaching swing dance lessons.  While you're there check out over 75 vendors with great Easter gift ideas and delicious food with white chocolate bread pudding from Crescent City Bread Pudding and shrimp regua from Antoine's to just name a few!!  And don't forget to keep cool with a margarita from the Beacon of Hope beverage booth or a beer from St. Dominic's. Proceeds from the beverage booths support these great organizations!!!
