Festival-goers enjoy the celebrations despite the rain in New Orleans.
This weekend, New Orleans faces rain, affecting local festivals. The Freret Street Festival is postponed to November 1, while the Brews, Boils, and Bubbles Festival shifts to Sunday, March 30. A parade is still on for Saturday at 10 a.m. Stay informed as weather impacts continue.
Well, folks, it looks like our beloved New Orleans is in for a wet weekend! The forecast is bringing in some rain this Saturday, March 29, leading to some exciting adjustments for the festival scene in the Big Easy.
First up on the festival lineup, the much-anticipated Freret Street Festival has announced that it’s taking a little rain break. Originally slated for this weekend, the festival has been postponed and will now pop up later in the year, specifically on November 1. Mark your calendars, because this highly-loved neighborhood party will take place, rain or shine, in the fall!
But don’t despair just yet! The Brews, Boils, and Bubbles Festival, taking place at the scenic New Orleans Lakefront, is ready to spice up our lives with a little slight change in schedule. Instead of Saturday, this fest has been pushed to Sunday, March 30, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
This rescheduling means more time to enjoy live music and tantalizing delicacies from over 16 top boilers and restaurants! Expect a delicious array of food options paired with fantastic entertainment—including live performances from the greats like Cupid, known as the Line Dance King. Music aficionados can also catch the dynamic sounds from Grammy Award-winner Irvin Mayfield with BlackHouse, DJ FTK, and the high-energy group Flow Tribe. Trust us, it’s going to be an epic day of food and fun!
If you had your parade shoes all ready for Saturday, you’ll want to note that the Krewe has decided to get things rolling a bit earlier. Get ready, because the parade will kick off at 10 a.m. this Saturday! It’s a little adjustment, but it gives everyone a chance to enjoy the festivities while keeping an eye on the weather.
As for additional event changes, do stay tuned! Organizers are committed to keeping everyone in the loop regarding any further developments or alterations to the weekend’s line-up. Keep checking back, as the weather may reshape some plans down the line.
Now, what about that weather? Meteorologist Megan Williams has advised that most of the storms are expected to shower the area during the early morning hours, with the heaviest downpours likely to hit between midnight and 6 a.m. So if you’re planning to step out, a little raincoat or a sturdy umbrella might just be your best friends this weekend.
On a brighter note, while we wait for the clouds to clear, there’s a new feature hitting the streets that parade enthusiasts will love! A 2025 Mardi Gras Parade Tracker application is now available. This nifty app offers detailed information about upcoming parades and even provides real-time GPS tracking to help you catch every float without missing a beat. It’s the perfect companion for enjoying all that New Orleans offers during festive seasons!
So there you have it! Despite a little gloomy forecast, New Orleans is still ready to celebrate, adapt, and keep the good times rolling. Whether you choose to enjoy food and music on Sunday or save the Freret Street Festival for later, let’s keep our spirits high and embrace the vibrant culture of our incredible city.
Remember, no rain can dampen the spirit of New Orleans!
