New Orleans makes the music.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You make the memories.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

April 25-May 5, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jazz Fest is part of growing up in New Orlenas. And while it might seem like more work than fun to have the little ones in tow for an event like this, most parents we know wouldn’t have it any other way. You’ve gotta start them on the Zydeco early!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do decide to Jazz Fest with the fam, here are a few tips. You might want to bring a beach blanket or a chair with an umbrella for quick naps. If you’re worried about music levels on your little one’s ears, throw some\u00a0ear muffs or headphones into the stroller. <\/span>And invest in a pair of those cute little rain boots, just in case.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Official Jazz Fest Shuttle will get you right inside the gate (see link below).\u00a0<\/span>Once inside, head for less crowded stages like the Jazz & Heritage and Fais Do-Do stages. Plus the Blues and Gospel tents offer chairs . And don’t forget the Kids Tent! Your kids will love the puppet shows, kids jazz bands, youth choirs, and more. Some might recommend going on Thursdays or Fridays to avoid the larger crowds but some of the best acts are on the weekend so we say “just go for it.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
