Jazz fan or not, the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is the place to celebrate music. During the last weekend in April and the first weekend in May, the Big Easy opens to the page in its history book that’s filled with tribal African beats, harmonic church hymns, and American pop music, filling 12 stages with everything from jazz and blues to rock and folk. 

Fest300 was on the ground at Jazz Fest this year and managed to capture some of the fun and magic at the fairgrounds. Of course, this celebration is best experienced in person, so if you haven't been to Jazz Fest before, it's time to make plans for next year to laissez les bon temps rouler!
