The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation presents two of its popular, free festivals on one weekend in Congo Square and Louis Armstrong Park. There will be two stages of music celebrating the New Orleans traditions that spring from the African diaspora: jazz, funk, contemporary and traditional brass band, gospel and rhythm & blues. African drumming and dance will be a continued highlight at Congo Square Rhythms Festival, as well as, the annual Mardi Gras Indian “battle” – with tribes from various neighborhoods. The double-festival weekend will also feature loads of local food and an incredible arts market. https://www.jazzandheritage.org/treme-gumbo
