SECTION CUE TYPE THE TUNES NAME French Quarter Festival, New Orleans Sound-sational! Just like there’s air to breathe, there’s pretty much music at every Louisiana festival. New Orleans hosts the French Quarter Festival , Essence Fest and so many others. The state’s capital city is home to the Baton Rouge Blues Festival and sounds from the Highland Jazz & Blues Festival fill the air in Shreveport. The Acadia Music Fest lights up Thibodeaux and folks in Lake Charles can’t wait for the Cajun Music & Food Festival every year. In Central Louisiana, fans rush to the Natchitoches Jazz/R&B Festival and music isn’t the only draw at the Alex River Fete in Alexandria. There’s local art, classic cars and a beer garden, too! Up north, the Red River Revel has been going strong for 47 years in Shreveport. And even though the Louisiana Peach Festival doesn’t have music in its name, this 74-year-old party offers 12+ hours of live music in charming downtown Ruston. Both your taste buds and your feet will be dancing. Feel the beat at LouisianaTravel.com/Music ! 45 #OnlyLouisiana @LouisianaTravel
