Fall Festivals in New Orleans Part II - Epiosde #75

Fall Festivals in New Orleans, Part II

Today’s show is all about Fall Festivals in New Orleans. It is Part II of our Fall guide. In Episode #71, we covered September and October. Today, we'll cover events in November and December.

By the end of today’s show, we will have you ready to go for your visit!

Like Part 1 of the Fall Festivals Guide, I am joined by my wife, Marie Bologna. If you’ve joined our Facebook group, the Beyond Bourbon Street Krewe, you’ve probably benefitted from her ideas and insights about New Orleans. She helps with ideas, contributes frequently to the group and pretty much keeps me in line.

You'll love the location, the rooms, and the food, but the details and the service are what you'll fall in love with!
