New Orleans Jazz Fest Canceled
August 8th, 2021
Due to a surge in COVID-19 cases, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival will not take place this October. Jimmy Buffett was scheduled to perform at the festival. The event is now scheduled for April 29th through May 8th, 2022
The Jazz Fest organizers released this statement:
As a result of the current exponential growth of new COVID cases in New Orleans and the region and the ongoing public health emergency, we must sadly announce that the 2021 edition of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, scheduled to take place October 8 –17, 2021, will not occur as planned. We now look forward to next spring, when we will present the Festival during its traditional timeframe. Next year’s dates are April 29 – May 8, 2022.
Ticketholders for both Festival weekends (including those that rolled over their tickets from 2020) will receive an email this week with details about the ticket refund and rollover process. All Wednesday, October 13 tickets will be automatically refunded.
In the meantime, we urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials, so that we can all soon experience together the joy that is Jazz Fest.
