The New Orleans Oyster Festival kicks off today and ends tomorrow. Free admission and music but you pay for what you eat.
The 2013 New Orleans Oyster Festival is in the park next to the aquarium. It features free music and tasty oyster dishes (pay for what you eat). (photo via @NOLA_oyster on Twitter)
The fest is downtown next to the aquarium (map). We love us some oysters so we’re pumped to have all the delicacies in one place. Check out this list of food vendors. Yum.
We’re planning to check out the food booths tomorrow (Sunday, June 2). Shoot us an email if you want to be our food adventure buddy (ie – warning – we’ll take pix of your food). Email: newinNOLAblog@gmail.com.
And if you are on Twitter, the festival has been sending out pix all day: @NOLA_oyster
