This free, day-long festival celebrates the historic role of Congo Square as the birthplace of American music. It was there that African slaves gathered on Sunday afternoons to practice their ancestral traditions - influencing all of the styles that would emerge from New Orleans' cultural melting pot.(More) | | Have a fabulous month, and if you know of any festivals happening in the Greater New Orleans Area that we have left out, please contact us at contentmgr@neworleans.com.

Darling friends,
Another fabulous week has gone by. The city is enjoying the glorious autumn weather, a big Saints victory against the Panthers and hosting thousands of Realtors. Last week, I had plenty of reasons to toast to my beloved New Orleans. Among the many events that I attended were the opening night of "Rain" - A Tribute to The Beatles at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts. Prior to that event I attended the fabulous opening of Gallery 329 on Royal Street, followed by an evening of chefs, cocktails and camo to celebrate the publication of WILD ABUNDANCE ritual, revelry & recipes of the South's finest hunting clubs at the at The American Sector, National World War II. I also attended writers and TV personalities Jan and Bob Carr's release of their book "Raising Our Children On Bourbon: a French Quarter Love Affair" at Chris Owens Bourbon Street nightclub. The Carrs will be my special guests at my Round Table Luncheon on Wednesday, November 10 at noon at Begue's. (More)
