Let there be music! - local events!

The Noble's playing in Slidell's Heritage Park

If you love music as much as I do, you will understand why I just love where I live.  Great music festivals abound in this region especially in the Spring and Fall.  While much is known about the large festivals in New Orleans - Jazz and Heritage Festival and the French Quarter Festival, the towns on the North side of the lake take it in a more relaxed setting with outdoor concerts in local parks all free for locals and visitors alike.  For a complete list of all the concerts, visit this NOLA.com Article



B&B's are a better way to stay, so while visiting Southeastern Louisiana, stay at Woodridge Bed and Breakfast - play hard, sleep well! Debbi & Tim Keepers of the Inn and Concierge to your perfect getaway!

All that Jazz - Preservation Hall

One of our 100+ things to do while visiting Woodridge:
New Orleans is known for many, many things one of them being the birth place of JAZZ!  While there are many places to hear the well known and lesser known artists, the best one is dedicated to the real soul of the sound.  Preservation Hall http://www.preservationhall.com/hall/index.aspx 
 is dedicated to keep the traditional sound alive.  Located on St. Peter St. in the heart of the French Quarter where nightly performances are between 8-11pm, with lines forming early to have the pleasure.  Cost $15...no drinks are served!   
 See Map below for directions from Woodridge. ( We happily provide our guests with vital information on directions and best places to park, just ask!)
