Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo Returns to Bayou St. John May 16-18

Limited Early Bird Weekend Passes on Sale Now for $24.50 While Supplies Last

NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo returns to the banks of Bayou St. John on Friday, May 16, through Sunday, May 18. This three-day festival features live music, comedy, cabaret, an arts market and various food and beverage vendors. Unique to the Bayou Boogaloo, festival-goers can enjoy the music from land or on the Bayou by small water vessel or homemade barge. Proceeds benefit Friends of Bayou St. John, the nonprofit organization dedicated to the stewardship and protection of Bayou St. John.

Limited early bird weekend passes on sale are now available for $24.50 while supplies last at thebayouboogaloo.com.

In 2024, the festival’s eco-friendly efforts led to the recycling of 220 lbs. of aluminum, 295 lbs. of plastic, 320 lbs. of glass, and 35 lbs. of cardboard. Additionally, attendees used 2,018 reusable cups, diverting 1,395 lbs. from landfills. Friends of Bayou St. John shars thanks to funding for the second consecutive year from Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s 2024 Greener Grounds Grant for Louisiana’s Large Outdoor Events, which will implement even stronger waste reduction and recycling initiatives at this year’s festival. This funding will support litter prevention, waste reduction strategies, and the purchase of additional litter and recycling containers.
