NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL

In April of 1970, Mahalia Jackson, often called the greatest gospel singer, returned to her hometown to appear at the first New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

While attending the Louisiana Heritage Fair in Congo Square (then known as Beauregard Square), she and Duke Ellington, who also appeared at the event, came upon the Eureka Brass Band leading a crowd of second-line revelers through the Festival grounds.

George Wein, the producer of the Festival, handed Ms. Jackson a microphone; she sang along with the band and joined the parade… and the spirit of Jazz Fest was born.

This spontaneous, momentous scene—this meeting of jazz and heritage—has stood for decades as a stirring symbol of the authenticity of the celebration that was destined to become a cultural force.

From the very beginning, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was envisioned as an important event with great cultural significance and popular appeal. The Festival was the culmination of years of discussions and efforts by city leaders who wanted to create an event worthy of the city’s legacy as the birthplace of jazz.

WHEN: April 29, 2022, April 30, 2022, May 1, 2022, May 6, 2022, May 7, 2022, May 8, 2022

LOCATION: Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots, A Churchill Downs Co.
1751 Gentilly Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70119

EVENT HOST: New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival & Foundation, Inc.

MORE INFO: (504) 410-4100 • Visit Event Website

Inspired by the spirit of Mahalia Jackson and the Eureka Brass Band back in 1970, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival continues to celebrate the culture of Louisiana with the combined fervor of a gospel hymn and the joy of a jazz parade.

Louisiana Renaissance Festival – Know Before You Go

by

The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is back for 2021 and as fun and educational as ever! Every autumn, the Louisiana Renaissance Festival creates the English “Village of Albright,” with more than 600 artisans, entertainers, and educational demonstrations welcoming you to the best parts of the 16th century.

Albright has a magical ambiance: the atmosphere is adventurous, exciting, and romantic. Choose from dozens of professional performers, more than 50 shows, and a plethora of demonstrations every day on a dozen stages. Search a hundred booths for unique handmade creations.

My family visited last weekend, here are some tips we think you should know before you go:

Louisiana Renaissance Festival – Know Before You Go

  • Remember to get cash before you go. Many vendors can take a card, but it’s hit and miss. There are ATMs, but there are fees to them. Plus, cash can be helpful for budgeting as well!
  • Be ready to wait in line. The lines for food ranged from a handful of patrons to dozens deep, and nearly all the interactive activities had decent lines at all times. If you have impatient littles, this is something you’ll want to plan for.
  • The mead hits hard. Mead is a historic honey wine that can be purchased at the adult tavern near the glass blowing demo. But fair warning: it’s like a Medieval Hand Grenade and WILL sneak up on you…not that I would know…
  • If you like a vendor, take their card! Even if you don’t end up buying something from them, you can still support them with a social media like, follow, and share!

Louisiana Renaissance Festival - Know Before You Go

  • There is a handful of rides, but they’re all period-accurate. No Ferris wheels or roller coasters here, but the rides that ARE there are lots of fun! There’s a sea monster boat that rocks forward and back, pony rides, and whatever this wind-up Maypole contraption is called:
  • Check the website for the daily schedule. Like music festivals, there are several shows going on at different stages all day, and you’ll want to plan your day a bit to avoid missing anything you’re interested in (our favorites were jousting and the glass blowing!). 

Credit: Louisiana Renaissance Festival

  • Wear comfortable shoes. And while you’re at it, wear shoes that can be washed/wiped down. You’ll spend the vast majority of your day walking around a dusty dirt path that turns to a muddy dirt path if it rains.
  • Check the website for each weekend’s theme. For example, our weekend was Heroes and Pirates Weekend; the costumes were amazing! Other themes include Celtic Weekend, Time Travelers Weekend, and Romance Weekend.
  • Dress up! Or don’t. There’s no pressure to dress in period-accurate costume, and conversely, no outfit is unwelcome.  We saw faeries, queens, knights, anime characters, pirates, jesters, comic book characters…but there were plenty of festival-goers not in costume. 

If you’re a seasoned RenFest attendant, what would you add? Who are some of your favorite performers, and who are you missing this year? This was our first time, and we can’t want to go back!

The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is open weekends in Hammond now through December 11th. Visit their website at https://www.larf.net for themes, schedules, and more, or to purchase tickets. 

Baton Rouge Family Fun

A working mother of two, she balances her free time between hanging out with her family, writing, and baking for her home business, The Little Things Cakes.
