It's another bright, juicy year ripe for celebrating summer's favorite bounty: fresh Creole tomatoes. These beloved fruits are set to take over the French Market to mark the official opening of Creole tomato season with a "Ripe and Ready" second line featuring a local jazz band, The Baby Dolls, and the Amelia Earhawts on Saturday at 10:30 am, followed by live music on three stages. And of course, there will be a wealth of food booths featuring the star of the show: the Creole Tomato. 10 am–7 pm. Free. frenchmarket.org.
