Friends of Bayou St. John is proud to operate the Bayou Backyard, a 3,000 sq. ft solar-powered outdoor community event space, located in Mid City on the corner of Orleans Ave. and N. Rendon St.


“Our hope with the Bayou Backyard is that it becomes a place for the community to gather, organize or celebrate. As an outdoor space attached to the permanent home of Friends of Bayou St. John, Bayou Backyard is a resource for everyone that lives in or loves our Mid City neighborhood as much as we do.”

— Jared Zeller, President, Friends of Bayou St. John and Founder, Mid City Bayou Boogaloo
