crommy Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Went two years in a row. Always a great time. Go there and discover new acts. Wander around from stage to stage, you never know what you are going to hear. It's a great atmosphere, nice weather and soulful sounds.(Ironically, there is less traditional jazz there than any other type of music)Dont forget abou the food. Some of the best food I've had in New Orleans has come from those vendors. Since portions arent so big, you can sample many delightful dishes. Get one of those portable chairs though, makes it much easier. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaP Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 This is my senior year at Tulane, and I couldn't have said it any better than Jill. It's an excellent time, much better than mardi gras. There are some big names--Paul Simon, Mystikal, Dave Matthews Band--but for the most part its New Orleans jazz & funk. Everyone has a good time ------------------=)reginadp121@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Like Jilly and ReginaP I also went to school in the Big Easy, so from ample experience, I tell ya you're gonna have a blast!My fave thing about Jazz Fest- the food! There are tons of vendors selling all different varieties. God, I miss New Orleans cuisine!------------------I never try anything, I just do it... Wanna try me?

dmgreenz Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 yup, this year will be my fifth jazz fest. Lots of good food to be had there too. 2 tips:1)don't drink during the day because you'll just got dehydrated and feel like shite. save the partying for the evening.2)don't preoccupy yourself with the big name acts. check out the 'side' stages and the local talent. it's soooo much more interesting.------------------DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmgreenz Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 but sometimes I'm in the mood for the mandarin orange tea. ;-) So, by the end of the day, I drink at least one of each.
