ABOUT NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL
Jazz Fest is much more than one of the premier — and most beloved — festivals in the world. It is a signature cultural event for its home city, rivaling Mardi Gras as one of New Orleans’ global calling cards. With 12 stages of soul-stirring music—jazz, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, blues, R&B, rock, funk, African, Latin, Caribbean, folk, and much more—the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is a singular celebration. The event has showcased most of the great artists of New Orleans and Louisiana of the last half century along with renowned international performers. More information available at www.nojazzfest.com.
