Celebrate food, art and fun with North Gate Fest – The Tigers may be taking their game to Alabama this weekend, but there’s still good reason to head to the north gates of campus: the ninth annual North Gate Fest.

The Tigers may be taking their game to Alabama this weekend, but there’s still good reason to head to the north gates of campus: the ninth annual North Gate Fest. LSU favorites like Louie’s Café, Reginelli’s, Serrano’s and The Chimes will open their doors to festival-goers, while Taco de Paco and Three Bones Catering food trucks join the party. Take in live music from Minos the Saint, Startisan and others, hula hooping, acro-yoga and belly dancers while you enjoy a cold Abita beer and browse works by local artists. The free event lasts from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday. For more information, click here.
