Thursday April 10, 2025 evening’s dinner is purposely left open (the only evening left open), as we anticipate that attendees will wish to visit a restaurant of their choosing. We recommend that you make a reservation immediately, as the quarter of a million festival goers have the same idea. Or, you can attend the French Quarter Festival to enjoy New Orleans style food at numerous booths keeping in mind that FQF ends at 7pm. Be sure your dinner is finished by 7pm, to attend the
