April 10, 2008 – 7 – 10:00 p.m. – Steamboat Natchez, dockside
Join us for a festival fundraiser to kick off French Quarter Festival’s 25th Anniversary celebration! This year’s T.G.I.F. “Thank Goodness It’s Festival!” party embarks on a new adventure, aboard the Steamboat Natchez with special musical guest, Rockin’ Dopsie & the Zydeco Twisters…. Critics say, “He’s boogied with James Brown, packed the House of Blues, played at the White House, and traveled to more cities than a Greyhound. Critics hail him as one of Zydeco’s most cherished symbols and a party seems to break out whenever and wherever he and his band show up.” The party takes place dockside, aboard the Natchez, and will spill out onto the new Toulouse Riverfront canopied dock overlooking the Mississippi River. Enjoy great music, food and cocktails at the most festive party of the year! Tickets are $50 per person through April 6th and $65 per person after April 6th. Dress is Jazzy Casual. All proceeds benefit French Quarter Festival, the largest FREE festival in the South!
