Jammin’ in the French Quarter

By Linda Tancs

New Orleans’ French Quarter Festival is celebrating its 30th year now through 14 April with over 800 local musicians, free special events, activities for the kids and a fireworks display along the Mississippi on Saturday night.  Did I mention food?  Perhaps it needs no introduction.  This is New Orleans, after all–home of the poboys, jambalaya and gumbo, to name but a few of its delicacies.  Sample them all at the more than 65 restaurants participating in the festival.
