During festivals, New Orleans is pure magic. The city buzzes with music, from jazz to brass bands turning every street corner into a stage. Parades fill the avenues with bursts of color, wild costumes, and smiling faces, creating a vibe that's impossible to resist. The scent of Creole and Cajun food floats through the air, pulling you toward mouthwatering dishes that are as unforgettable as the city itself. It’s where the city's heart truly shines. Get yourself festive ready for the year as we drop the list of most amazing festivals happening in the city.
This lively fest will celebrate the city's rich musical heritage alongside international talents. The first day kicks off with a jazz-filled evening at the Orpheum Theater, setting the energy for the festival. The International Arts Festival NOLA will be happening in September 27 to 29, 2024 and is set to bring an eclectic mix of performances and cultural showcases. The following two days, held at Armstrong Park will have local and global artists making the city more exciting. Beyond entertainment the festival aims to boost economic growth and strengthen ties between New Orleans and its sister cities, promoting cultural exchange and unity.
This lively event always has a variety of gumbo styles, from seafood and chicken sausage to vegan options, all available in sample-sized portions from local vendors. The festival offers a lively soundtrack with performances by New Orleans brass bands adding to the festive atmosphere. Here, everyone can explore an arts market showcasing local crafts and unique artworks and enjoy cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs who share tips on making the perfect gumbo. The Tremé Creole Gumbo Festival is a vibrant celebration of New Orleans’ rich food and music culture. The festival will be happening in November at Louis Armstrong Park.
