It is arguably the most wonderful time of the year in New Orleans: Jazz Fest! This weekend kicks off weekend one of the most celebrated local festivals for New Orleans, 40 years have brought countless artists and musical conglomerates that will forever go down in history. For the locals, some would say the best part of Jazz Fest is the afterparties themselves when all the artists come out to play together for never-before-seen super jams.
We’ve done our diligent duty and scoured the city for all the best and underground parties this side of the Mississippi. Enjoy our event guide for the first weekend of Jazz Fest! And remember sunscreen and hydration go a long way!
