Allow Live Music at the Lakefront - Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar


Allow Live Music at the Lakefront - Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar
The Issue
When people come to Felix’s on the Lakefront, they’re not just here for oysters—they’re here for the full experience. Good food, cold drinks, the water at your back, and the kind of live music that makes a weekend feel like New Orleans.
That music has been taken away. Under current rules from the Lakefront Management Authority and the City of New Orleans, Felix’s is no longer allowed to host the bands our guests know and love.
Our customers ask about it every weekend. They want the music back. Local musicians want the chance to play again. And our community deserves the energy and connection that live music brings to the Lakefront.
We’re asking for a change to these restrictions so Felix’s can restore live music and bring back the atmosphere our guests have been missing.
