Event: Jazz Fest

Event: Jazz Fest

Location:  Fair Grounds Race Course, at 1751 Gentilly Boulevard

Aside from Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest is the most popular event for both tourists and locals to attend. Spread out over two weekends  (Thursday-Sunday) in late April and early May, Jazz Fest is held every year at the fair grounds in Mid-city. 

This year, headliners include Sheryl Crow, Aerosmith, Sting, and so many more. Many bands are local favorites. There are different stages all over the racetrack and surrounding grassy areas, as well as craft booths, lots of food (and alcohol of course), and souvenir tents.

On Friday, I went with a group of young people that I work with, and I plan to go tomorrow as well. Check back early next week for pictures!
