Where y’at this weekend: Music, food, and celebrations from Thursday-Monday

What’s going on this weekend? We’ll go over some of the big events and happenings around the New Orleans area with Josh Danzig, owner of Where Y’at Magazine. * You can get started on the festivities Thursday night! The Louisiana Hospitality Foundation Gold Medal Chef’s Gala benefits our hospitality with a silent auction, dinner, and an awards ceremony. * Why not celebrate the Mississippi River? The NOLA River Festival is in its 12th year, and you can check it out at the New Orleans Jazz Museum on Saturday. * There’s a brand new festival this weekend: The Brasas Latin Flavor Festival is this Saturday in Kenner. Free to attend with music, food, and fun.
