The annual French Quarter Festival that drew an estimated 825,000 attendees in 2019 will take place on April 16 to 19 in 2020, two weeks later than originally scheduled. According to a French Quarter Fest announcement, the 35-year-old celebration of New Orleans music, cuisine and culture has been moved from its usual second-weekend slot in order to make room for the NCAA Women’s Final Four basketball tournament that will take place April 3 and 5 at the Smoothie King Center.

This year’s French Quarter Fest will conclude just days before the start of the 2020 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, April 23 to May 3 at the Fair Grounds race track in Gentilly.


Three weekends of music!!!!!

Moving a festival where 825,000 attend to accommodate a weekend of basketball with a total attendance of 10,000? Seems about right for LA.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I just booked a room in downtown NOLA for FQF, before the hotels jack up the rates for the new dates.

Ever since the tourist caught on to the FQF, it started to suck.. I still enjoy it, but it's gotten too big...

You realize that the same exact thing could be said about every single event that has ever taken place in New Orleans, right?

1980s guy: “I miss Mardi Gras when there weren’t so many tourists, and it was a little more quaint and not just a bunch of drunken frat guys.”

1990s guy: “I miss Jazzfest when it so many tourists didnt know about it, and there were more local bands.”

2019 guy: “French Quarter Fest used to be so much better...”



And guess what they’ll be saying in 15 years?

2034 guy: “Remember when Hogs for the Cause was really cool? I hate it now.”
