Zydeco and Cajun music are just some of the melodies that fill the Vieux Carré during this April event. The French Quarter Festival features 13 stages, hundreds of musicians, and a number of musical genres – international, blues, rock, swing and, of course, jazz. All other events (from the art show to the children's activities) are free, and festival-goers can enjoy the Crescent City's fine food during the World's Largest Jazz Brunch.
