Used to go to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Cheap, good food(No! Great food) and fine music. Had Pete Seeger, Doc Watson, Doug Kershaw and a bunch more I forget. It was held at the Fairgrounds racetrack. Also had acts at other venues all week. It was a week long event. Could bring your own ice chests if you wanted. Too much to do to get drunk. If you knew your way around N.O. you could park in a residential area close to the grounds and avoid the rush when they closed down.
