Barrel & Flow meets New Orleans for ‘Barrels on the Bayou’
Pittsburgh based Barrel and Flow has been named the Best Beer Festival in America by the readers of the USA Today, and now we’re taking the good times south for Barrels on the Bayou.
A two-day event featuring 30 Black breweries and collaborations, live music and art, and uniquely NOLA activations and experiences. Both the bottle share and the Saturday festival will take place along the St. Charles streetcar line in New Orleans, offering a new way to ride the Barrel & Flow wave.
We’re working closely with city magnates and cultural leaders to bring an authentically New Orleans flavor to Barrels on the Bayou, with festival-exclusive collaborations, an exciting lineup of musicians and artists, a diverse selection of food and artisan vendors, and important community organizations and discussions.
Join us April 17 at Gallier Hall for the bottle share and April 18 for the main-day festival at Lafayette Square. The inaugural Barrels on the Bayou Festival will take place the same weekend as the French Quarter Festival – the largest free music festival in the country – enjoy both for a fully NOLA adventure!
It’s the same mission, but this time we’re bringing a southern flair. Imagine the spirit of Barrel and Flow combined with the soul of New Orleans for two days of colorful celebration and collaboration along the Bayou.
