The 2016 Freret Street Festival is happening on Saturday, April 2 from 11am-6pm. Free to attend, the festival has three stages with local music, plus over 150 local vendors, a food court, and pet adoption stations. It runs the length of Freret Street between Soniat and Napoleon. This year's full music lineup is below.

Vendors are coming with a wide variety of wares including painting, sculpture, clothing, jewelry, vintage items, used CDs and books, and more. Local non-profits will also be present sharing information about their work and opportunities to get involved.
