Mirliton Festival
Mickey Markey Park 3301 Royal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70117
Unfortunately, due to 2015's rain-out, the Mirliton Festival is taking a break this year. Organizers hope to bring it back in 2017.
The noble mirliton, a funny-shaped cousin of squash, has been important enough to the Bywater neighborhood to warrant a festival in its honor for twenty-five years now. Marked with music, drinks, and mirliton of all kinds, this longtime neighborhood festival is free to enjoy. Mickey Markey Park, at the corner of Piety and Royal Streets. 11 am–7 pm. bywatermirlitonfestival.com.
