Due to the damaging effects of Hurricane Katrina the U.S. Mint is
unable to host Satchmo SummerFest in 2006 as it did in previous
years. In light of that the French Market has graciously donated
space between Ursulines and Barracks Street for Satchmo SummerFest.
Festival-goers will again enjoy what makes Satchmo SummerFest so
special - free jazz performances, delicious local cuisine in Red Bean
Alley, educating seminars, children's activities, art exhibits, a
"Satchmo Club Strut," a very special evening concert, a Jazz Mass and
authentic second-line parade, and much more. With so many festivities
planned, it's no wonder why Satchmo SummerFest has quickly become a
summertime favorite and one of the Southeast Tourism Society's Top 20
Events.
Complete schedule follows. For more information, call (800) 673-5725,
(504) 522-5730, or visit www.fqfi.org
for more info.
