It was so much fun! They festival is all this weekend up on Willy Street which is the hippy part of town, and this event did not disappoint. They had a "green bar" that gave you reusable mugs and the whole place was filled with dreadlocked dancing hippies hula hooping and grooving to the music. There were so many hippy mamas in their hippy sun dresses dancing with their little babies in their arms. It was very cute. This city just feels like a bizarre time-warp sometimes.
The festival is a celebration of French culture, so the whole line up is French influenced. The first band we saw was from New Orleans and the second was all the way from Niger! They were so awesome. Two electric guitars and the lead singer/guitarist was so into it. We loved watching him dance as he played. The first band was great too. I am a sucker for some good saxophone, and when paired with guitar and a hilarious front man with a solid jazz voice? Please.
We're thinking we'll head back there tomorrow night! Weekend finally!! It's my birthday on Monday so Andrew surprised me with tickets to Medieval Times on Sunday night and I could not be more excited. I've never been and I've been aching to go for years!
Do any of you have exciting plans for the weekend? We'd love to hear from you!
Much love,
Michelle
