Lagniappe s 08 Fair and Festival Guide

As we're fond of saying, if you can eat it, play it, listen to it, read it or watch it, we've got a festival for it.

And, why not? In these pages are listings of community fun, beginning this weekend and continuing through the end of the year. Grab your calendar and mark down your favorites or make a resolution to try one or two new festivals this year.

You won't want to miss a bite, a note or a two-step.

Preservation Hall will offer free jazz concerts throughout the festival.

Terrific resource! You can just print it and highlight what you want to attend. Wish the newspapers where I currently live would take a lesson from the T-P on this. You have to search so many websites, newspapers, etc. and still you find out that something you wanted to attend happened last weekend but it wasn't listed anywhere. NOLA---can't wait to get back home permanently!
