Crawfish Mambo to Berl Indoors, Sculpture Garden Movie Canceled


It’s going to be a rainy weekend, but that won’t stop the city’s best crawfish boilers from competing at UNO’s inaugural Crawfish Mambo this Saturday, May 12. It will, however, cause them to move the location of the fest from the main quad of UNO’s Lakefront Campus to the campus' indoor student hub: the UNO Cove and Sandbar. And that's not all.

 

Tonight's screening of Breakfast at Tiffany's at the New Orleans Museum of Art's Besthoff Sculpture Garden was also canceled due to rain, according to the Museum. While you won't get to sit under a spider and enjoy a huge bag of kettle corn, the movie is on Netflix Instant right now.
