The two-week music festival, with bands on multiple stages and a party scene where you can buy beers to fill up coolers (with ice!) is a rich part of the city’s musical history. The dates for New Orleans Jazz Fest 2024 are April 26-May 4. The first weekend is April 26-29 with the second weekend being May 1-4.
Ticket prices are listed as $85 in advance and $95 at the door on the Jazz Fest website. They are scheduled to go on sale in January with the release of the first bands. Ticket packages for multiple days are available in addition to single-day sales. The full music lineup schedule usually comes out by the end of February.
It is important to note that that New Orleans Jazz Fest is now a cashless event. The cashless system caused some problems when it debuted in 2023 and it is hoped that the problems – long lines, a system that went down and other glitches – will be worked out and solved for 2024.
The event is held at the Fair Grounds Race Course, located at 1751 Gentilly Boulevard. The Jazz Fest hours are 11 a.m.- 7 p.m.
The event’s official website is nojazzfest.com.
