We are in New Orleans for our first ever Jazz Fest. This is so exciting.

If you haven't seen Pearl Jam concert, absolutely do it. Fabulous.

This is definitely going to become an annual thing for us, not a one and done.

YouTube Video Description↓

We attended Jazz Fest in New Orleans this past weekend... and it was incredible!! This was our first time (we can't believe we live three hours away and have never been!) but it won't be our last!! There is so much incredible live music of all genres playing... not just jazz! We watched amazing performers: Marc Broussard, Luke Combs, and headliner... Pearl Jam! But also local favorites: Samantha Fish, Wayne Toups, Dumpstaphunk and New Breed Brass Band to name a few! And the FOOD!!! There is so much incredible food to try at the festival! We had a great time and can't wait for next year!
