The 2015 Freret Street Festival is happening on Saturday, April 4 from 11am-5pm. Free to attend, the festival has three stages with local music, plus over 150 local vendors, a food court, and pet adoption stations. It runs the length of Freret Street between Soniat and Napoleon. This year's full music lineup is below.

Vendors are coming with a wide variety of wares including painting, sculpture, clothing, jewelry, vintage items, used CDs and books, and more. Local non-profits will also be present sharing information about their work and opportunities to get involved.

And good news for dog owners: this festival is one of the rare pet-friendly ones! There's a "Doggy Rest Stop" at the corner of Freret & Cadiz with water, treats, poo bags, and splash pools. This is also where multiple local animal rescue organizations are set up with opportunities for adoption.

WWOZ featured the Freret Street Festival on "New Orleans All The Way Live" back in 2013. Check out the sounds, sights, tastes, and atmosphere of this neighborhood fest at the link: http://www.wwoz.org/programs/new-orleans-all-way-live/show-205-freret-st....
