New Orleans will throw a festival for just about anything. With the cooler weather (slowly) approaching, we can expect festival season to kick in, where there’s a festival practically every weekend until Mardi Gras. In just a few short weeks one of the best smelling festivals takes over Woldenberg Park, and you’re not going to want to miss it. The National Fried Chicken Festival is finger-licking good, and fun for the whole family. Mark your calendars!
