The Silo

This is a very interesting event venue. Located in the lower part of 5^th Ward, I imagine that The Silo must look like the perfect location for a horror movie when there isn’t an event going on. The old converted rice mill sits on 7 acres and has plenty of interesting attractions.
When we first arrived for our event, I had been warned by one of my friends that there was a person on the street trying to charge for street parking. If you go around to the back of the silo, there is a fairly large, unpaved parking lot that is free. Be careful if your car sits low to the ground because it is pretty rough terrain… but it’s free. For the ladies, of you choose to wear heels please beware as the path from the parking spot, across the train tracks and to the entrance can feel like a mini obstacle course.
Once we got in, I only got to see two spaces. The main entrance area has an old automobile graveyard in the back corner thar is worth checking out. The second area featured a very high stage great for a live band or dj. The Silo is definitely a unique event venue worth visiting.
