The second annual Treme Creole Gumbo Festival honors the role of the historic Treme neighborhood in the development of New Orleans music, cuisine and culture. With one stage showcasing the best jazz, blues and R&B from the Treme, plus gumbo cooking demonstrations by the finest chefs in the city, the festival offers fun for the whole family.

Among the performers will be Treme’s own trumpet star Kermit Ruffins.

The Treme Creole Gumbo Festival also includes our Jazz & Heritage Holiday Bazaar, where official Jazz Fest t-shirts, posters and other merchandise will be for sale, along with hand-made local clothing, jewelry and home furnishings.
