Saturday = Festival Day. Brie, Evan, AV and I stopped in at the Scandinavian Festival on Prytania Street to see what it was all about. AV and Evan enjoyed some open-faced sandwiches consisting of salmon, beef, liver pate, etc. There was a mini craftshow type area that had some unique items for sale (the creepy troll looking thing being one of these "unique" items).
After we took in all of the sights at the Nordic event we continued down the river to the Caribbean Festival in Lafayette Square. Unforunately Festival #2 was a major bust. The flyer we looked up online looked sketchy, then when we drove by the turnout was laughable so we skipped that adventure and headed to the Bywater for Festival #3!
The Mirliton Festival changed locations this year but was still deep in the Bywater. As always we indulged in some yummy mirliton dishes (mine was a seafood stuffed mirliton with some kind of creamy dill sauce on top) while listening to local bands play. Most food/music festivals tend to also have a crafts area. The sign below was one of the many gems I saw for sale.
The weather has turned warm again (low 80's) and it does not feel like November, but it sure does make for some nice festival weather!
