Along with all the musical guests, there are also a handful of distinctive craft and cultural venues, which will feature everything from African art to local handmade goods. In addition, the Louisiana Folklife Village and Native American Village will both highlight the music and traditions of the people of Louisiana and the state's indigenous people. A variety of food stands will be serving up delectable Louisiana comfort food.
The New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center knows that jazz's greatest city needs soulful accommodations to welcome festival guests.
