Valerie Robinson, chairman of the Old Algiers RiverFest

Valerie Robinson is chairman of the Old Algiers RiverFest, and President of Old Algiers Main Street Corporation. She describes how the Old Algiers RiverFest arose out of a community concert project of internationally known musician Dr. Michael White. Although the Old Algiers RiverFest is primarily music-focused, it also features lots of food and crafts. Two of the festival's headliners this year are Irvin Mayfield and Dr. Michael White. The festival is April 1, 2007 in Old Algiers.
