2008 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival

First Jazz fest I went to was in 1983. This is my first Fest since Katrina. Glad to be back, hope I helped being here.

I know the Fest helps, it's a non profit Organization with many programs to keep the culture alive.

Pictures are from May 1st and 2n.
