French Quarter Flavors & Music

​

The French Quarter Festival in New Orleans is the ultimate celebration for fun-loving groups who want music, food, and culture all rolled into one unforgettable experience. Spanning multiple stages throughout the historic French Quarter, Jackson Square, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, Bourbon Street, Royal Street, The French Market, and the New Orleans Jazz Museum. The festival features nonstop live music-everything from jazz and blues to zydeco and funk-played by some of the city's best local talent. Dozens of food booths serving up classic New Orleans flavors including gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, and po'boys, making it as much a feast for your taste buds as for your ears.

​

The atmosphere is electric, with vibrant crowds dancing in the streets, sipping cocktails, and soaking in the unique charm of the Quarter's historic architecture.

​

Unlike bigger, more crowded festivals, this one feels laid-back yet thrilling, perfect for all who want to immerse themselves in New Orleans' spirit. It's a weekend of music, food, laughter, and pure Crescent City joy.
