Festival season is almost here, and now is the time to nail down which fests you want to go to, what artists you want to see and of course, what food you want to eat.

The cubes for the 2019 French Quarter Festival hit the streets Thursday morning, naming the dates and times for more than 250 acts during the four-day festival. Some of the acts had been rescheduled after bad weather kept them from going onstage last year.

Headliners include Rebirth Brass Band, Rockin’ Dopsie, Cyril Neville, Little Freddie King and Flow Tribe.

Beginning Friday morning, festival-goers can download the French Quarter Festival App and start planning.

Organizers said the festival employs more than 1,700 local musicians during the festival weekend.
