New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest releases schedule ‘cubes,’ other details
With the opening of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival now just a month away, festival organizers have dropped all the info you need to figure out where you want to be when, what you’re going to eat and even which vendors you might seek out for a little on-site shopping.
Among the information dropped Tuesday:
The “Cubes,” the stage-by-stage, hour-by-hour music schedule. You already knew which days you were most interested in, now you can map out a detailed itinerary.
A breakdown of food vendors and menu items. Jazz Fest is the rare music fest where the food is almost as much of a highlight as the music, and it looks like that hasn’t changed for 2023. Specialty items include pheasant, quail & Andouille gumbo; turduckin po-boys; crawfish pies and much, much, more.
