Photos: French Quarter Fest brings great music, beautiful weather

French Quarter Fest brought thousands upon thousands of people to the neighborhood that is its namesake over the weekend. Four days of near-perfect weather was just the icing on the cake for an event that featured hundreds of Louisiana artists across 23 stages.

Kim Welsh was on hand on Friday and Saturday to capture photos of everything from Irma Thomas and Sweet Crude to Corey Henry and Lynn Drury, plus a few shots of some proud OffBeat readers for good measure.
