What is New Orleans Music Month?
New Orleans Music Month is a city-wide, monthlong celebration of New Orleans’ vibrant music ecosystem. New Orleans is well known as a center of music culture. But music is also a critical component of our economy. Through the culmination of New Orleans Music Month, our goal is to increase awareness of New Orleans as a hub for music business, education, and innovation.
Why October?
October is a great time of year in New Orleans. Traditionally there are over a dozen music-related festivals and events held in October and countless live music performances in venues and clubs throughout the city. See what’s happening in October here: neworleans.com/musicmonth
