Where Y’at this Weekend: Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, West Baton Rouge, Gonzales

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — With autumn just around the corner, it’s starting to feel a tiny bit cooler, which makes it a great time to head outside and enjoy the fun. Get ready for a festival devoted to the good ol’ days, a spirited distillery tour and tasting, and delicious dining specials for all. Here are Where Y’at’s picks!

• First, residents of Orleans Parish: get your Crescent City ID, the official ID for all New Orleanians. It serves as a library card and more. Plus receive discounts from local businesses! Visit an upcoming pop-up event like the one on Tuesday at the Main Library or make an appointment online to get your ID card.
• Next, numerous Jefferson Parish restaurants present Foodie Feast Restaurant Week with exclusive discounts and special menus. Spots like the new Metairie location of Jamaican Jerk House are participating. Log onto the Visit Jefferson Parish’s website for a full list of locales.
• If you’re a fan of the good ‘ol days, then don’t miss the West Baton Rouge Visitor Bureau’s Oldies but Goodies Fest on Saturday, Sept. 13. Head outdoors and enjoy the live music, a BBQ cookoff and an antique car show! There’ll even be a competition for the best jitterbug dancing.
• Finally, heading to the LSU game? Then stop by Sugarfield Spirits in Gonzalez on your way for a tour, tastings, plus plenty of TVs to watch the action. Sugarfield Spirits uses Louisiana ingredients to create its long line of products, from vodka, rum, and bourbon to wine and cider.
