Friends of the Cabildo will lead a number of New Orleans music history tours this weekend in celebration of Satchmo SummerFest.

The guided outings will begin at the Old U.S. Mint and make their way through much of the French Quarter, where they will stop by various locations that have defined the New Orleans music scene for over a century. Participants will hear stories about artists like Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, George Lewis and Danny Barker, as well as famed venues like Preservation Hall and the Palm Court Jazz Club. The tour will then wrap up at the Mint, where Armstrong’s first cornet and last trumpet are on display.

The tours will begin at 9am each day on August 5, 6 and 7. Tickets can be reserved via Friends of the Cabildo’s website.

As previously reported, Satchmo SummerFest will take place in Jackson Square this weekend, August 5-7. It will mark the first time that event has celebrated Armstrong’s birthday outside of the Old U.S. Mint, which has hosted the festival since its inception in 2001.
