It’s that Time of the Year

For 39 years, the New Orleans Jazz festival has been part of the culture that we call New Orleans and this year will be no different. Big name acts such as Aaron Neville, Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow and Stevie Wonder will entertain the thousands of people that will flock to New Orleans for what may call, “The Greatest Party on Earth.”

It’s been almost 3 years since Katrina wreaked havoc on New Orleans and many people feel that New Orleans will never recover fully. In fact, many of the families that lived in New Oeleans for decades dispersed throughout the South to rebuild their lives.  And yet, many of the Jazz Fest faithful anticipate that this will be the best event ever.

Some rooms are available but accomodations for the Jazz Festival are at a premium. Many budget conscious attendees will stay along the Mississippi coast and travel back and forth to the festivities. A few years ago, I attended my first Jazz Fest and if you are a Jazz fan, a music fan or just a person who likes to have a good time, this is one of those must-do’s in life.
