COMMUNITY OUTREACH TICKETS
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation supports community involvement in the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell by distributing thousands of free tickets to the world–famous festival of local music and culture.
As it has for many years, the Foundation’s Community Outreach Tickets program makes free Jazz Fest tickets available to those who otherwise could not afford to attend the festival. The tickets are distributed through social service organizations such as nonpfofit, educational, religious, government and community agencies - and they are for use by the people who receive services from those organizations.
Schools for pre–kindergarten through eighth graders can make arrangements to attend Jazz Fest through a separate program, School Day at the Fest; call (504) 410-4100 for more information.
“It brings us great pleasure to distribute so many tickets to the community,” said Don Marshall, the Foundation’s executive director. “It’s important that we do all we can to help people experience and enjoy such an incredible event.”
Community Outreach tickets are distributed according to strict guidelines. They may not be sold, used for fund–raising or given as gifts or incentives to current or former employees, board members, volunteers, business clients and the like. Commercial enterprises and individuals are not eligible to apply.
