But we drip culture.

I can go to the French Quarter eat world class cuisine and listen to rivers of jazz.

The Quarter is one rolling, glorious, neon lit nonstop party in and of itself.

I think other cities could use more festivals, ethnic ones, all sorts of stuff.

Last week we had dragon boat races over in Mandeville.

Cities need aquariums, children's museums, indoor concert venues, casual dining, and not festivals NightWatcher May 2016 #10

Music festivals can be fun, but do not have any significant educational potential lagomorph777 May 2016 #11
