Lafayette Square Wednesday at Lafayette Square is starting on April 2, 2008. The weekly concert series starts soon so we know Summer is almost here or at least late Spring. The Lafayette Concert series will run to June 18 th. The Young Leadership Council runs the annual series with the bands, various food and drink vendors and other vendors.
The series starts at 5:00 O’clock and runs till 7:30 rain or shine. Expect the rain to start or end the concert several times during the season. Its the New Orleans weather where it can rain and shine within an hour. The park is in the heart of the central business district or the New Orleans Warehouse District. Its on St. Charles across the street from Gallier Hall and the condos at 625 St. Charles Ave.
The Square was named after Lafayette who visited the area in 1825 and covers the entire block. Parking is easy and available for $3 on Poydras. The meter maids head home at 6pm if you are looking for street parking. The schedule is below and feature various local artists and an assortment of vendors trying to separate some money from you. The park is a great place to eat lunch for those working downtown and want to get away from the concrete.
Many times I will tie a visit in when selling Warehouse District Condos as I will likely see some of my old clients. You can see many of your new neighbors as well.
