New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
In late April, just before the onset of the summer heat and
humidity, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is held in
various locations. Numerous stages simultaneously present a vast
cross-section of musical performances by top artists, ranging from
traditional New Orleans jazz to Gospel, country, rap, hip-hop and
Creole zydeco. In addition to the hundreds of performances and
thousands of musicians the festival includes numerous food stalls
and hundreds of arts and crafts displays making it a true
celebration of the city's culture and heritage.
