MoPHo Just Launched a New Menu Especially for Vegetarians and Vegans

FESTIVAL SEASON — Citing increased fall food festival competition and a loss of funds following the 2015 festival that was canceled because of rain, the 25-year-old Bywater Mirliton Festival has been canceled again this year. Event organizers are hoping to bring the festival back in 2018 with a “new format.” [NOLA.COM]
