Ready, set, go for Jazz Fest's second weekend. The Fairgrounds open at 11 a.m. for "Locals Thursday."
Headliners for the second weekend include Santana, Buddy Guy, Irma Thomas, Dead & Co., and Mumford & Sons.
Trombone Shorty, John Batiste, and Ludacris are also on the schedule.
Locals Thursday means Louisiana residents can get up to two tickets for $50 each if they present a valid Louisiana I-D when they purchase today at the gate.
