Covid-19 continues to put holes in spring and summer concert plans and the 2021 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is the latest concert festival that will be altered. The festival’s website announced that it won’t take place in April as usual and this year’s event will instead run from October 8-17.
“We are all ready to get together again and share that special spirit that lives at Jazz Fest. It’s taking longer than we want, but we’ll all have our celebration when the time comes. Your health, along with the health of our musicians, food and crafts vendors, and all of the folks that work to make the magic happen, remains the priority as we plan the return of Jazz Fest.”
