What April feels like
French Quarter Fest and Jazz Fest bracket the month, and the Fair Grounds turns into a small city with its own food economy. April rain arrives in serious quantity when it arrives — veterans of the infield bring boots, not umbrellas.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.
