It’s almost here! And the weather should be fantastic! Don’t forget your hat and sunscreen. If you take photos, please share on our Facebook page.
FYI there is no ATM on Freret Street HOWEVER… if a vendor cannot take plastic don’t fret. Just go to one of the Information/ATM/Market Money Booths found on the corner of Robert Street and at Cadiz Street in front of Zeus’ Place and you can use your credit card to purchase Market Money. All vendors will accept Market Money like cash. If you have Market Money left over from Freret Market bring it! Spend it!

If you are lucky enough to live close enough to walk to this year’s Festival, good for you!
If you drive, there are two, free parking lots nearby: 1) On Napoleon Avenue at S Robertson Street & 2) On the corner of Magnolia and Cadiz Streets. Please be courteous to our neighbors when you park and do not block driveways.
If you ride your bike, there is a complimentary bike valet by Bike Easy, at the corner of Freret and Jena.
Via public transit, both the Freret #15 bus and Napoleon #24 bus will drop you off right here. Take the St. Charles Streetcar and walk the 8 or so blocks or the Claiborne #16 bus is just 2-4 blocks away.
