YLC Wednesday at the Square
Spring is here and with it comes the return of the popular outdoor concert series, YLC Wednesday at the Square, to Lafayette Square. It is free and open to the public. Proceeds from food and drink sales benefit the Young Leadership Council’s community service projects. It runs through May 24, but April’s lineup is particularly exciting, with George Porter Jr., Jon Cleary and Big Sam’s Funky Nation all slated to perform. Information, YLCNola.org
