Now in its 15th year, the Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival announces it will now celebrating virtually October 16-19.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation will present three days of music, food and crafts online. Festival organizers state: “We’ll revisit some of the most popular performances from past Blues Fests and we’ll even see some new performances from Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington and Little Freddie King!   And we’re doing this while raising money for a very worthy cause: the Jazz & Heritage Music Relief Fund – a fund that was created to support the Louisiana music community as we all do our part to bring live music events back!”

The live stream will be available both via the  Facebook and Youtube channel.
