The Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo Festival celebrates Louisiana’s music, art, food, and culture every year on the third weekend of May. The festival features three stages exploring New Orleans’ musical roots in blues, jazz, zydeco, Cajun, funk, hip-hop, and rock. It is the signature program of Friends of Bayou St John, a non-profit focusing in connecting the Mid-City communities to Bayou St John.

Our mission is to uplift this resource by promoting stewardship, cultural appreciation, responsible recreation and initiatives that support a clean, healthy Bayou St. John that is accessible to all.
