Expect a spectacle at Esplanade and Mystery. Look for TEAM HUMANA at MILE 4 sometime after 10 a.m. with Faubourg St. John‘s own Bonnie Lee downing jello shots along the route. Party with your neighbors at Esplanade and Mystery this Saturday from 10 a.m. until we all fall down. The Easter Bunny has been known to make surprise appearances during the Crescent City Classic. He usually shows up in the 3000 block of Esplanade.

 

The Crescent City Classic will once again run through Faubourg St. John on Saturday, April 19th. Expect a spectacle at Esplanade and Mystery!
