Join us for a festival fundraiser to kick off French Quarter Festival's 25th Anniversary celebration!
This year's T.G.I.F. "Thank Goodness It's Festival!" party embarks on a new adventure, aboard the Steamboat Natchez with special musical guest, Rockin' Dopsie & the Zydeco Twisters.
Critics say, "He's boogied with James Brown, packed the House of Blues, played at the White House, and traveled to more cities than a Greyhound.
Critics hail him as one of the Zydeco's most cherished symbols and a party seems to break out when ever and where ever he and his band show up."
The party takes place dockside, aboard the Natchez, and will spill out onto the new Toulouse Riverfront canopied dock overlooking the Mississippi River.
Enjoy great music, food and cocktails at the most festive party of the year! Dress is Jazzy Casual. All proceeds benefit French Quarter Festival!
DATE: April 10, 2008
TIME: 7 PM - 10 PM
PLACE: Steamboat Natchez, dockside
