How was jambalaya jam? Actually wanted to go.

It's the tits every year. At lunch time, every team is doing crazy hors d'oeuvres (bacon wrapped, fried, grilled, seafood, steak, chicken, shrimp, gator, you name it) and selling or handing them out. At 5, you can buy tickets to taste jambalaya for $1 a serving and vote for your favorite. By 6:30, they're giving jambalaya away for free all you can eat. There's also live music from 5-8 with all of the bars open on 3rd street (some with their own bands) as well.

Not to mention they sell beer and Canes is generally giving out free sweet tea and lemonade. It's the best annual event downtown, imo.

The funniest thing is the aftermath, come 8:01, downtown is a ghost town until the late night bar crowd comes out around 10:00.
