The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is an annual celebration of the music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana. Taking place April 22nd – May 1st, 2016, the festival celebrates the indigenous music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana, so the music encompasses every style associated with the city and the state: blues, R&B, gospel music, Cajun music, zydeco, Afro-Caribbean, folk music, Latin, rock, rap music, country music, bluegrass, and everything in between. And of course there is lots of jazz, both contemporary and traditional.
