NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Festival season is here, y’all! And to make it easier than ever to stay on track with your wellness goals, the Eat Fit team of dietitians has worked with festival vendors to incorporate nutritious, delicious dishes at this year’s French Quarter Festival presented by Chevron – just look for the Ochsner Eat Fit seal of approval on menu boards!
With more than 20 stages throughout the French Quarter Thursday April 13 – Sunday April 16, the French Quarter Festival presented by Chevron celebrates local music and represents every genre from traditional and contemporary.
And we get it – we all have our French Quarter Fest favorites that we can’t wait to indulge in, regardless of nutrition. But for those out at the fest multiple days, it can help to find that balance between decadence and mindfulness. Find full dish details and nutrition facts on the free Eat Fit mobile app, available for Apple and Android devices.
