Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival - Festing In Place, 10/16-18/2020

We can't gather for a live festival this year, but we can still celebrate 15 years of the Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival- virtually!  The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation is bringing you three days of incredible music, food and crafts just as we always have.  We’ll revisit some of the most popular performances from past Blues Fests and we’ll even see some new performances from Walter “Wolfman” Washington and Little Freddie King!   And we’re doing this while raising money for a very worthy cause: the Jazz & Heritage Music Relief Fund – a fund that was created to support the Louisiana music community as we all do our part to bring live music events back!   There's two ways you can watch or listen October 16-18:  Community radio station WWOZ 90.7 FM will broadcast Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival live from Lafayette Square – over the air and in streaming audio at www.wwoz.org.  You can also catch the live stream via our Facebook and Youtube channel!
