Some artists who performed at the 2009 Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo

The Bayou Boogaloo is a free admission music festival in Mid City, the heart of the City of New Orleans, held on the banks of the beautiful and historic Bayou St. John. The spirit of the festival captures the spirit of this diverse and historic neighborhood. It is a family friendly cultural event that celebrates the heritage of New Orleans music, New Orleans cuisine, and New Orleans culture.

Over 20,000 people attended the event last year enjoying live music from three stages, dining on local food, sampling local culture and an art market comprised of local artists.
