We bring this mission to life by:

• Showcasing America's most distinct and original art form — with a spotlight on the vibrant traditions of New Orleans jazz and brass bands.

• Supporting local talent — from military and school ensembles to music education nonprofits, all alongside a featured headliner from New Orleans.

• Celebrating our community’s diversity — with free, family-friendly performances and music education workshops that are open and accessible to all.

This beloved event is made possible by generous supporters like you.
