Three Festivals in One Weekend:

If you only have one weekend to spend in New Orleans this summer make it June 13-15, 2009. That's the New Orleans Vieux To Do. (The real name of the French Quarter is the Vieux Carre)There's enough food and music and fresh Creole tomatoes. Also several hotels have special deals for the weekend. What more does anyone need?

The Louisiana Seafood Festival offers fresh seafood from local fisherman, cooked to perfection. The aromas alone will make you happy.

The Creole Tomato FestivalIf you've never eaten a Creole Tomato, you've never eaten a tomato. These are fabulous!

The Cajun/Zydeco Music Festival is the perfect place to dance off all the extra pounds you've gained eating at the other two festivals. Learn the Cajun Two-Step, and be carefree.

Special Hotel Deals:

Many local hotels both in and near the French Quarter offer special weekend deals for the summer.
