Gator by the Bay is the largest, most authentic Louisiana-themed music and food festival this side of the bayou. It's held each year around the 2nd weekend in May. It features four days of live music with over 100 musical acts and special performances on 6 stages, shaded dance floors, delicious southern food, non-stop live music, dancing, and family fun at Spanish Landing Park on beautiful San Diego Bay across from the airport.
Go to https://events.com/r/en_US/tickets/gator-by-the-bay-2025-san-diego-may-957818 for tickets. I purchased the one day ticket at $78. Come early, bring a chair, hat, block, jacket, as you never know conditions. Oh, and bring your beads and feathers for the parade!
