New Orleans Music Festival with Louis Armstrong

New Orleans’ favorite new festival is Satchmo SummerFest, a five-day event celebrating the lasting influence of jazz icon, international cultural ambassador and native son Louis Armstrong. The 3rd annual festival events will be held July 31 - August 4 at locations around the city.

The festival grounds at the Louisiana State Museum’s Old U.S. Mint include four music stages, entertaining and educational panel discussions, an outdoor New Orleans food court appropriately dubbed “Red Bean Alley,” and a children’s area. The Museum’s New Orleans Jazz exhibition, featuring the cornet on which Armstrong learned to play as a youngster and other rare and important artifacts, is also a must-see.#
