This year’s French Quarter Fest has been an incredible success, with enormous crowds and absolutely perfect weather.

With hundreds of performers spread across dozens of stages, there has been something for everyone since the first shows on Thursday afternoon.

These pictures from Saturday, April 12 show just a hint of the action.

Chris Mulé and the Perpetrators put on a great show on the Esplanade in the Shade stage, Andrew Duhon reunited with Miles Weeks and Maxwell Zandy at the BMI Songwriter Stage, there was a (successful) marriage proposal in front of the Chevron Cajun/Zydeco stage, and brass band Magnetic Ear played amazing versions of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Nina’s “99 Luftballons.”
