New Orleans specialties and flavors from around the world will be available at food kiosks located around the park. I see USA/New Orleans, Italy, Fusion, Floribbean, Brazil, Southeast Asian; India; Central America kiosks on the bit of map I could find.

So I’m super excited about Barenaked Ladies! They are so much fun in concert. I can’t wait to eat the food and catch beads at the parade. Will I see you there?
