I am from NOLA (New Orleans Louisiana) and i have to say that Jazz Fest is by far my favorite event the city holds. The first Event was held April of 1970 and my first Fest was in 2003. I attended my first Jazz Fest with my step dad and good friend at the time Frank. i can remember sitting on the back side of the main stage listening to sounds of Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, while a Rebirth Brass Ban Marching line weaved its way throe the crowd. i was instantly in love. The Festival is held at the fair Grounds in Mid City of New Orleans, on the area inside the track. In a nut shell it is quintessential NOLA. Its about more than just the music. the cornucopia of people from all around the city and world is what makes it great. while the smells of New Orleans classics like gumbo, poboys, and crawfish monica sent the air. It is truly to me my favorite place in the world and a experience that everyone should have at least once.
