THE REVIEW: THAT VOODOO '16
The Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and Festival
Many would call this event a music festival, but it is way more than that.
The Voodoo Festival is an experience.
Not only music, but art and cuisine are featured too.
One can call it a ritual that the event is held annually in New Orleans.
Over 65 bands performed in just 3 days for this Halloween weekend.
Music artists and bands included:
The Weeknd
(who recently announced his StarBoy Tour and collaboration with H&M next spring!)
G-Eazy
Carnage
Excision
The Chainsmokers
And Melanie Martinez
The food fit the location and was made to spice up the crowd.
Corn bisque, pastalaya, seafood pasta, one pound of cinnamon rolls and much more were served up and options were very inclusive: vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices of traditional NOLA foods were a hit!
City Park, where the festival was held, was decorated with interactive art that attendees could spend some time with in between shows.
Sponsors even brought some of their own experiences:
Dove’s #ChoosePleasure chocolate campaign
Funyuns' Exhaleorometer
And the Citi Cardmember Lounge
Seemed like a great way to get your adrenaline pumping.
Festivities continued all through the weekend and ended just in time for Halloween!
