Description

*** UPDATE: Due to the threat of severe weather, French Quarter Festival officials announce that the festival is cancelled on Saturday, April 14. Weather threats include damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and a flash flood watch. The festival will reopen for its final day on Sunday, April 15 at 11 a.m. The full cancellation includes all outdoor and indoor performances and special events. "Our first priority is the safety of our attendees, artists, chefs, and community," said Emily Madero, President and CEO of French Quarter Festivals, Inc. "This difficult decision comes after meeting with weather and security officials. We will resume full operations on Sunday and look forward to a day of music, food, and culture!" ***

On Saturday and Sunday, April 14-15, 504ward, GNO, Inc. and NOLABA will host a NOLA BOUND pop-up to connect Greater New Orleans area employers with homegrown New Orleans talent while back in town for French Quarter Fest. New Orleans expats (anyone who knows and loves New Orleans -- grew up here, visited, went to college here, did a fellowship here, etc.), potential transplants, and locals are invited to drop by the NOLA BOUND tent in front of the Audubon Aquarium at the GE Digital Stage to connect with potential employers and learn about new developments in a region rich in culture and economic opportunity.

NOLA BOUND Ambassadors will be on hand to share free resources and tips — including Work Nola, 504ward, and Destination GNO — on how to network, connect and find the RIGHT job in New Orleans.

By pre-registering and checking in at the tent you'll be entered to win raffle prizes throughout the day, including KREWE designer sunglasses (New Orleans' own eyewear brand!), signed French Quarter Festival posters, and gift certificates to some of our favorite, classic New Orleans French Quarter Restaurants including Galatoire's, Arnaud's, Café Adelaide, and Brennan's.

Saturday: 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.
