Aaron Neville drew a large crowd to his concert on opening day of the French Quarter Fest 2017 on Thursday April 6. He got the crowd going when he was playing some of his big hits like “Everybody plays the fool”. This guy is great and he really touched the audience here at the French Quarter Fest. If you want to see if Aaron is coming to a place near you, here is his tour schedule.
New Orleans is busy setting up for the 2017 French Quarter Fest which is held April 6-9 2017.
There is a lot of work involved in holding an event like the French Quarter Fest even though it is not quite as big as some of the events in New Orleans such as jazz Fest or Mardi Gras.

Woldenberg park, named after philanthropist Malcolm Woldenberg (1896–1982) who helped fund the park on land that previously held riverfront warehouses and effectively cut the city off from access the the great Mississippi river is now the home of some of the biggest stages at the French Quarter Fest.
Well, don’t take it too literally – it looks like they are just setting up by the Rec. center for a recruitment drive maybe – still a lot of Army all around the basketball courts and surrounding areas.
