Jazz Fest doesn’t get started until Friday, but there still are ton of things to do in the days leading up to the fest. Consider heading out to City Park Thursday evening for this great event.
Threadhead Thursday has become an un-official Jazz Fest kick-off party. This is the fifth year the fine folks at the non-profit organization, which provides grant funds to musicians and writers (yours truly included), have thrown the party.
It takes place from 6 PM until 11 PM at the picturesque Botanical Gardens of City Park.
It is free (with a $10 suggested donation to City Park) and food and beverages are available for purchase. The music lineup includes the Landry-Walker Chosen Ones Brass Band, Paul Sanchez (pictured at top) & the Rolling Road Show, the Creole String Beans and Arsene Delay & the 7th Ward Allstars.
