NEW ORLEANS - French Quarter Festivals Inc. held its annual press conference today in Jackson Square to annouce the lineup and sponsors for its three-day 25th anniversary celebration, scheduled for April 11-13.

The Harrah's Foundation and Preservation Hall are the new sponsors for the festival.

The organization calls the event the "largest free musical festival in the South" attracting 400,000 people last year and generating an economic impact estimate near $75 million for New Orleans.
