Old Algiers River Fest

On April 5th and 6th the Old Algiers Main Street Corporation put on the fourth annual The Old Algiers RiverFest. It is a celebration of the roots of jazz in Old Algiers and the Mississippi River’s role in the spread of jazz in the early part of the 20th century. Over twenty art and craft vendors offered their works for sale. Also there was an assortment of food and drink vendors on hand. Fortunately it did not rain the Saturday I went to take pictures.
