It is official! Satchmo SummerFest returns to the New Orleans Jazz Museum as a live event this summer.
Festival organizers have not yet announced a music lineup, but do say it will happen from July 31 to August 1.
“We are thrilled to announce our comeback,” said CEO of French Quarter Fest Inc., Emily Madero. "Satchmo SummerFest is the only local festival dedicated to Louis Armstrong. In addition to being a musical genius, Armstrong was a cultural ambassador and fighter. His legacy continues to inspire and provide a source of strength as our community rebounds. We invite our fans to join us for two days celebrating local music, culture, and resilience. Also, we are grateful to those who donated to our Resilience campaign. Your support helped make this comeback possible!"
Full details, including the music and culinary lineups for both Satchmo SummerFest and French Quarter Festival, will be announced in June.
