NOLA x NOLA is a citywide celebration of New Orleans music, art, food, and culture that showcases the creative spirit of the city through performances, events, and collaborations across local venues and neighborhoods. Designed to spotlight New Orleans artists and cultural institutions, the festival offers visitors an immersive way to experience the city’s creative community beyond the traditional tourist experience.
The event brings together musicians, restaurants, museums, galleries, theaters, and cultural organizations for a multi-day series of performances and experiences that highlight the unique artistic identity of New Orleans.
Unlike a single-location festival, NOLA x NOLA takes place throughout the city, encouraging visitors to explore different neighborhoods, venues, and cultural spaces. Programming often includes:
- Live music performances spanning jazz, funk, brass, R&B, hip-hop, and more
- Food and drink experiences featuring local chefs and restaurants
- Art exhibits, gallery openings, and cultural programming
- Theater, dance, comedy, and multimedia performances
- Collaborative events between local artists and businesses
Come experience New Orleans through the eyes of the local creative community — from intimate music venues and neighborhood restaurants to museums, performance spaces, and outdoor events throughout the city.
