As brief as it usually is, fall in New
Orleans is a fantastic time! The
cooler weather is the perfect
excuse to attend the many outdoor
festivals the city offers and the
right reason to dine al fresco in the
various venues that have made
their patios and terraces a main
attraction.
This year, Oktoberfest returns to
New Orleans. This is an exciting
event for the Deutsches Haus
members who have been working
towards getting their new facility ready. It will be a permanent
home where they will continue their mission to preserving the
German heritage of New Orleans.
Carnaval Latino closes the Hispanic Heritage Month celebration in
full swing with cultural activities free to the public at Washington
Square in the Marigny beginning at noon on October 13th. The fun
continues with the "Desfile de las Americas," a parade that rolls at
6:30 p.m. through the French Quarter. For the party goers,
Bamboleo! Latin Night at House of Blues will close the celebration
with live performances of the Ballet Folklorico of South Texas and
the all-female salsa band, Orquesta Canela from Colombia.
Although the weather does not change dramatically in the city, the
mood does. The pumpkin spice season prepares everyone for the
holidays, but before we jump too far ahead, we should not ignore
what is perhaps my favorite day in New Orleans. After
trick-or-treating with my children, I try not to miss people watching
in the Marigny. On Halloween one can have the best time simply
being outside and seeing the most creative, elaborate, and witty
costumes. The weather, the mood and Halloween are some of the
reasons why I cannot wait for the Fall.
¡Feliz otoño!
