New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Come Get Tattooed
LIL WEEZYANA FEST
Save the date. Rap master Lil Wayne will be visiting his hometown over the weekend for an unforgettable performance at the Lil Weezyana Fest in Champions Square. Guests will also get to see other high-energy rappers such as Moneybagg Yo, Coi Leray, BabyFace Ray, and Rob49 perform at this slammin’ festival.
SOUTHERN DECADENCE
September 1-5 | southerndecadence.net
Southern Decadence is back by popular demand. The most popular LGBT festival will be popping off in the French Quarter through Labor Day weekend. This year’s theme is “Jazz. Burlesque. Decadent. New Orleans.” The colors are red and gold. Expect a lot of dancing, drinking, and partying in the streets. No wonder it’s one of the top five festivals in the city.
LA SHRIMP AND PETROLEUM FESTIVAL
September 1-5 | shrimpandpetroleum.org
Louisiana wouldn’t be Louisiana without our shrimp and petroleum, and we couldn’t be prouder. As festival season approaches, what better way to honor both industries than throw a festival? Guests of all ages will enjoy free admission to the festival grounds where they’ll indulge in rides, games, arts and crafts, live music, and a beauty pageant. A street parade, car show, fleet blessing, benefit run/ walk, and fireworks show over Berwick Bay are also part of the agenda. It’s five full days of fun.
NEW ORLEANS TATTOOS ARTS FESTIVAL
Come to the Ernest N. Memorial Convention Center for Villain Arts’ fourth annual Tattoo Arts Festival. Choose from a number of local artists and vendors to get a tattoo, as well as meet special guests from the reality TV shows Ink Master and Black Ink Crew. There will also be tattoo contests, burlesque sideshows, and a stunning display from the No Gimmicks Needed Suspension Team will also run throughout the weekend. Whether you love getting tattoos or just admire tattoo art, this festival is a wonderful experience for everyone.
OLDIES BUT GOODIES FESTIVAL
Does modernism bring you down? Fight the modernism blues with some good old-fashioned music, cars, jitterbug contests, and nostalgia at the Oldies but Goodies Festival in West Baton Rouge. There will also be a BBQ contest on Saturday, where guests will not only enjoy homemade BBQ recipes but get to compete for $4,950 in prize money. Mmm-mmm.
BREWSTOCK HOMEBREW FEST
September 17 | brewstock.com/festival
Beer fans are in for a treat. Brewstock Homebrew Fest is coming to Deutsches Haus on Bayou St. John, a brandnew festival where guests will get to quench their thirst with homemade brews from local vendors. Guests can also show off their brewing skills to hundreds of people and are encouraged to get creative, as their booths will be judged based on homebrews, decorations, and supplies by local brewing companies, such as Faubourg Brewing Co., Urban South Brewery, and Old Rail Brewing Company.
