About this event
The Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival, presented by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, fills Lafayette Square Park with three days of free live music. The lineup includes Grammy winner Ruthie Foster, singer and guitarist Samantha Fish and Booker T. Jones, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, along with artwork by local artisans.
Our take: Admission is free, so put your budget toward the food vendors from across Louisiana.
