Our thoughts and minds are turning to Louisiana again. It's been five years since hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the BP oil leak situation is on-going. I love N'Awlins and I have visited the Crescent City and the Bayou several times but I can't just hop on a plane anytime I want to let the good times roll. So thank heaven, we can party N'Awlins style right here!
I took all the pictures on August 8 at the Long Beach Crawfish Festival at the Rainbow Lagoon.It's an annual summer event so follow them on Facebook or sign up for emails to get the info.
Another place to "laisser les bons temps rouler" is Farmers Market on 3rd Street. Gumbo Pot sponsors many Zydeco music events on the West Patio. I partied there for Mardi Gras this past February but more Zydeco events happen all the time.
The really big Voodoo Party is coming September 2nd to Santa Monica Pier! The City is ending it's FREE summer concert series with a concert by super star Dr. John and the Lower 911, opening band are the local Bayou guys, The Nervis Brothers.
Now I just got to get HBO to start airing Season 2 of "Trême" and I'll be a happy woman!
