April is near, but before we get there, March is ending with a myriad of festivals. This last weekend in March is overflowing with events. From festivals, to concerts, to DJ sets, this weekend is going to be lit!
ALL WEEKEND
Tennessee Williams Literary Festival (March 22 – 26) – This festival consists of events like Books and Beignets, a writing marathon, and ending with what the festival is best known for—its “Stella” shouting contest in Jackson Square—guests line up to compete by shouting out the famous line from “A Streetcar Named Desire.”
Louisiana Crawfish Festival (March 23 – 26) – The annual festival isn’t in the New Orleans Metro area but that never stops one from traveling for good crawfish! Located in Chalmette (which isn’t that far away), the festival will feature all things crawfish (boiled crawfish, crawfish pasta, crawfish bread, etc.), live music, rides, and more. $5 admish.
New Orleans Bourbon Festival (March 24 – 26) – A new festival to the scene, the festival caters to the Bourbon enthusiast. The entire weekend consists of Bourbon tastings, dinners, and seminars, as well as an awards brunch. Tickets start at $40.

SUNDAY, MARCH 26
Bloody Mary Festival – If there one thing Sundays are made for, it’s Bloody Marys (or in my case, mimosas). The new festival, held at The Howlin’ Wolf, offers twelve of the tastiest Bloody Marys from some on NOLA’s finest restaurants and bars from 12:30-4:30P.
