The spirit of Jazz Fest was born.

Now, the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has evolved into a two-weekend, seven-day party.

“We really set out to be an indigenous self-celebration by the culture — like the world’s greatest backyard barbeque — and to celebrate the tradition of New Orleans,” said producer-director Quint Davis, who co-founded the event.

“And now, after 40 of these festivals, we really have become one of those traditions.”
