Fest It Up In The City of Soul: Attend The Jazz & Heritage Festival In New Orleans

Home / Bucket List / Fest It Up In The City of Soul: Attend The Jazz & Heritage Festival In New Orleans

April 20, 2016

This has been on my Bucket List for years…

And this is the year it’s getting crossed off! This time next week I’ll be hopping on a flight South to NOLA to fest it up with some friends at #NOJazzFest.

This year’s lineup includes Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young, Snoop Dogg, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, and Van Morrison, just to name a few. Take that Coachella.

Wait for my updates soon on Instagram, in the meantime… here’s what I have to look forward to.

Bruce Springsteen brings a crowd. #NOJazzFest
