WWL TV HIGHLIGHTS VOODOO ON THE BAYOU

by


by WWLTV.com
Every year, just before Halloween, residents of the Faubourg St. John neighborhood hold a party to mark the season.

It’s called Voodoo on the Bayou and the President of the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association, Michael Cohn, joins the Eyewitness Morning News, along with the singer “Lips” from the band, “Lips and the Trips,” to talk about the fun and the fundraising that goes on there.

This year’s Voodoo on the Bayou, the annual benefit for the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association, will be at the Pitot House on Moss Street, this Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are just $50 in advance. For more information or to order your tickets, call (504) 486-7793.

THE ORIGINAL VOODOO ON THE BAYOU

by

VOODOO ON THE BAYOU

by Tom Fitzmorris

Long before the Voodoo Festival in City Park took over the Halloween weekend, the Faubourg St John Neighborhood Association held its annual fundraising party–also Halloween weekend, also with a voodoo theme, also near City Park. Instead of loud music, however, the theme is food. (Although there’s music, too.) The location is right: The Pitot House, one of the city’s oldest houses, on Bayou St. John in the bend across from City Park. It was the home of James Pitot, the first mayor of New Orleans.

The party starts at eight-thirty this Saturday, October 26 and goes until midnight, with all the essential makings of a fun evening: live music, open bar, and food. What food? From these esteemed culinarians, most of which are from the neighborhood:

Aunt Sally’s Pralines | Brocato’s | Cafe Degas | Commander’s Palace | Deutsches Haus | Fairgrinds Coffeehouse | Fair Grounds | Fellini’s Café | Katie’s Restaurant Liuzza’s By the Track | Lola’s Restaurant | Mona’s Café | New Orleans Tomato Co. Nonna Mia | Parkway Bakery | Ralph’s on the Park | Rouse’s Supermarket | Ruby Slipper Café | Santa Fe Restaurant | Terranova’s Superette | Toups Meatery


The tickets are available in advance for $50 online (https://fsjna.org) or at these merchants:

Terranova Supermarket, 3308 Esplanade Ave
Swirl Wine, 3143 Ponce de Leon

Tickets are also at the door for $60. The money goes toward the continuing improvement of that historic neighborhood and the Pitot House itself, which is a real gem. Faubourg St. John’s projects include the ReBridge Project, Desmare Playground, and the Bayou Children’s Halloween event.

LA VIE DE VILLE: Celebrating the spirits at ‘Voodoo on the Bayou’

By Roberta Grove

For the past 24 years, the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association has produced one of its signature events, Voodoo on the Bayou.

The party was staged on the grounds of the historic Pitot House on the banks of scenic Bayou St. John.

Last weekend, the site was transformed to accommodate the anticipated 400-plus costumed supporters of one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Nearly two dozen local restaurants were charged with the task of feeding the revelers and not one, but two bands were on tap to entertain.

First up on the stage was the group Lips and the Trips who warmed up the crowd, followed by Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes who closed the night out.

The mostly local crowd embraced the night’s theme with a colorful costume display that reflected the artistic flair that is characteristic of Faubourg St. John residents. In fact, much of the artwork up for bids in the silent auction was provided by artists who live and work within the neighborhood.

“We’re hoping to generate between $6,000 to $8,000 from tonight’s event,” said FSJNA’s President Michael Cohn. “Much of the proceeds will be dedicated towards improving and maintaining the quality of life for the residents of Faubourg St. John.” Specifically, improvements to the Desmare Playground on Esplanade Avenue, the Dumaine Street Bridge and the historic Magnolia Footbridge are all projects that will share in the revenue generated from this fundraising effort.

Faubourg St. John was established as a neighborhood in 1708. Today, more than 4,000 residents call it home. Within the 75-block area that defines the area, you’ll discover a diverse selection of New Orleans restaurants, historic architecture, abundant green space, and an easy pace to enjoy local culture.

If you missed Voodoo on the Bayou this year, make sure to plan to experience it next year. For more information on the Faubourg St. John neighborhood and all of the wonderful events that the association produces throughout the year, visit www.fsjna.org.

Wishing you a happy and safe Halloween!
