Set the scene: it’s 1970, and the first Jazz and Heritage Festival kicks off, creating a tradition that honors New Orleans’ rich culture and heritage.

An unmatched mix of music, culture, and that distinct New Orleans charm.

Despite the name of the event, jazz is far from the only genre that you’ll find at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. It’s a culmination of rock, pop, alternative, folk, and every other type of music that found its footing within the jazz world! Which, not so coincidentally, all started in New Orleans. You can also check out local jazz musicians and artists from NOLA when you’re not watching world-famous bands like Greta Van Fleet, Heart, The Beach Boys and Vampire Weekend.
In fact, crafts are at the center of the New Orleans Jazz Festival as much as music. Multiple art villages, including the Congo Square African Marketplace and Contemporary Crafts tents, pay homage to the artistry that originated in New Orleans. From legendary self-taught painter Sister Gertrude Morgan to jewelry designer Mignon Faget and various Louisiana basket weavers, there’s no shortage of what this city has produced with its hands.
Speaking of which, this event acts as not only a music festival but a major nonprofit in support of the city. For over fifty years, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation has dedicated itself to “ensuring that the city’s rich cultural legacy lives on in future generations.” They give out millions in grants each year to local artists and businesses, while you can also indulge in mouthwatering Southern cuisine and captivating exhibits by the people of New Orleans.
Long story short, this event is overflowing with Southern charm and hospitality from every corner, and you’ll be blown away by this spectacle of music, food, art, and more. Get your tickets for the New Orleans Jazz Festival today!
