Highlights of the Crescent City Blues and Barbecue Festival

First up in the highlights of the Crescent City Blues and Barbecue Festival is the music itself. The festival hosts two stages of music and features some of the biggest names in jazz and blues.

In addition, more than 200 arts and crafts vendors grace the festival, offering everything from hats to paintings, sculptures, jewellery, woodworking, leatherworking, and more.

Great to Know for the Crescent City Blues and Barbecue Festival

By and large, the festival is outdoors in New Orleans, which means it's mostly disability-friendly and navigable by people who use wheelchairs. The outdoor areas of NOLA are pet-friendly but be sure to keep your dog on a leash.

The festival is also a family-friendly event but be aware that it can get very crowded, so if you have little ones, be sure to keep a close eye on them. Also, take any reasonable precautions you would take in a large crowd. The overall atmosphere is one of a continuous party throughout the three days of the festivities.
