Music Month in New Orleans is a vibrant, month-long music extravaganza in October, showcasing the city's rich and diverse sounds. From jazz to blues, funk to zydeco, New Orleans pulses with live performances, parades, and street festivals throughout the month. As Walt Leger III, President and CEO of New Orleans & Company, beautifully puts it: "In New Orleans, music underlies our entire cultural landscape in deep and meaningful ways, every day of the year. These events allow our culture bearers and our music venues and clubs to connect with locals and visitors in intimate settings and showcase their talents while having a great time. There is no place else like New Orleans and the uniqueness of our music clubs and venues can't be matched anywhere." While the full schedule is still being finalized, here are some experiences you might encounter:
Intimate performances at historic jazz clubs
Street parades featuring brass bands
Special concerts at venues across the city
Music history tours and workshops
