August 1-2, 2009
New Orleans, LA
| For 2009, the big change was moving one of the stages inside, up to the 3rd floor of the Mint. This offered a welcome respite from the heat, and made the audience space for the Main stage noticably larger. The downside is, no food or beverage is allowed into the building, so no beer or snacking when watching the indoor stage. On a similar note, they were enforcing a ban on bringing outside beverages into the Festival. |
