2011 Fall Festival Preview for Gulf
Oct. 28 – 30, City Park, New Orleans, LA
Every year, the Voodoo Music Experience places New Orleans under a weekend-long spell of music, food, crafts and culture. The festival began in 1999 and has grown tremendously ever since, rivaling even JazzFest for attendance and big-name entertainment. For three whole days, the festival takes over City Park with two main stages and several smaller stages, not to mention countless local food and beverage vendors. Many local shops also take their goods to the fest and sell everything from clothing to jewelry, art, and everything else in between. Some of the main headliners at this year’s VoodooFest are as follows: The Original Meters, Snoop Dog, Soundgarden, Blink-182, The Raconteurs, Fatboy Slim, Girltalk, TV on the Radio, Ray Davies (of the Kinks), Ani DiFranco with Ivan Neville and Herlin Riley, The Wombats, Dirty South, Ozomatli, The Stone Foxes, Soul Rebels Brass Band. www.voodoo.dostuff.info.
