The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell is a joyous and spirited celebration showcasing the authentic music and heritage of Louisiana and New Orleans.

The highly competitive juried Contemporary Crafts Fair, located in Heritage Square set amid some of our most dynamic musical tents, will feature approximately sixty artists each weekend.
