Voodoo Music Experience
October 29-31, 2010

Voodoo Music Experience
Voodoo Music Experience
 

Every year, the Voodoo Music Experience places New Orleans under a weekend-long spell of music, food, crafts and culture. The Festival began in 1999 and has grown in size ever since. For three whole days, the festival takes over City Park with two main stages and several smaller stages not to mention countless local food and beverage vendors.

Many local shops also take part and sell everything from clothing and jewelry, to art and everything in between.

Held annually on or as close to Halloween weekend as possible, this year’s festival once again takes in Halloween night.

VoodooFest last year featured big names Eminem, Kiss, Jane’s Addiction, Lenny Kravitz, Widespread Panic, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, plus some of the best-known bands of New Orleans. More of the same can be expected at this year’s event.

Tickets are available for single days or weekend passes, as well as VIP all-access passes. Each day begins early with smaller local bands, and goes long into the night, closing out with big-name headliners. Many of the city’s music clubs also offer post-Voodoo, late-night concerts, so you can keep on rockin’ until the early morning.

City Park is located a short 15 minutes drive from the French Quarter and downtown area, so getting back and forth is never a problem. But, to avoid traffic jams, you can take the North Carrollton Avenue branch of the Canal Street streetcar line all the way to the end. It’s quaint and convenient; just go down to Canal Street and catch the candy apple red streetcar at any station and ask for a City Park transfer.

Get your tickets now and get ready to get in on the Voodoo Music Experience – it’s sure to be an action-packed weekend. For more details and to purchase tickets please visit: www.thevoodooexperience.com.
