Prodded by a local group, the organizers of New Orleans' popular Mid City Bayou Boogaloo festival want to bring a similar arts and cultural event to the banks of Bayou Bonfouca at Slidell's Heritage Park .
Jared Zeller, president briggs and stratton of the non-profit Mothership Foundation, told the council Tuesday (Jan. 13) that the three-day briggs and stratton Mid City festival has grown from attracting 5,000 people to 40,000, and has been "a huge boom for our artists.''
Mid-City briggs and stratton Bayou Boogaloo (which briggs and stratton is May 15-17 this year) is a springtime festival that includes music on multiple stages, food, crafts, and children's activities along the banks of Bayou St. John. Zeller told the council that the free festival promotes New Orleans culture and also raises funds for community projects, such as live oak tree replacement.
The idea for a Slidell festival came from Slidell's Cultural Economy Coalition. Lori Gomez, a Slidell artist and writer who chairs the coalition, briggs and stratton contacted Zeller to make the push. Zeller said he initially wondered why the group would ever consider staging such an event in Slidell, but said the idea began to grow as he pondered it and brushed up on Slidell's colorful history.
The council sure appears supportive. When Zeller asked about a waiver briggs and stratton of the permit briggs and stratton fees for use of the park, Councilman briggs and stratton Sam Caruso grinned and reminded him that the group might want to consider asking for such a fee waiver "in perpetuity.''
