The French Quarter Festival first began in 1984 to bring back people to the French Quarter. It takes over 1,500 community volunteers to make the festival happen each year. There are more than 20 stages throughout the French Quarter where you can hear local music from every genre.
Local New Orleans restaurants serve food and beverages in Jackson Square, the Jazz Museum at the Mint, JAX Brewery, and Woldenberg Riverfront Park during the festival. It was estimated that the festival brought $15 million in tax revenue to Lousiana in 2019 and over 800,000 people.
The festival is annual and is usually held each spring, however, due to COVID-19, it will be held in the fall this year. Due to the pandemic, the festival will look a bit different and will follow all COVID-19 protocols.
