Riverfest April 17, 2010

Old Algiers RiverFest™ is presented annually to celebrate the cultural contributions of Old Algiers. This growing festival, now in its sixth year is dedicated to preserving and promoting the traditional jazz and other indigenous sounds that came of age along the banks of the Mississippi River.

An authentic New Orleans cultural experience that features performances by some of the top names in traditional jazz, Gospel choirs, brass bands and Mardi Gras Indians, RiverFest™ also offers local cuisine, local and regional arts and crafts and children's activities along the levee near the Canal Street/Algiers Ferry Landing.
