BLUESFOREVER WAS JUST IN N’AWLINS

The Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival

The Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival is an annual music and food event in New Orleans, Louisiana, presented and organized by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation, Inc.

Featuring 18 bands over 3 days, and the best weather of any of our NOLA music adventures!

While there, we met the Krewe of the New Orleans Blues Society, whose mission is to preserve the past, support the present, promote the future and educate all to the Blues and Americana Music in the New Orleans and surrounding areas!

A highly recommended festival, and staying at the Blake hotel puts you right there at the fest!!

*Our partner site STLBlues.net gives it a 5 of 5 on the STLBluesOmeter!
