The Jazz & Heritage Gala is a star–studded soiree that each year kicks off the Jazz Fest season with a festive fund-raiser for the foundation.
It’s a special opportunity for private and corporate citizens support the Foundation’s efforts to promote the culture of our region.
The Gala offers top-notch entertainment, often featuring artists not appearing at Jazz Fest. Past headliners have included Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, B. B. King and Nancy Wilson, Fats Domino, Smokey Robinson, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Cole, Dr. John, Al Jarreau. In 2008, the Gala boasted the classic R&B of New Orleans’ own Deacon John, and a special performance by one of the most unique pioneers of rock & roll, the one and only Little Richard.
As they dance the night away, Gala patrons feast on a sumptuous supper prepared by some of New Orleans’ finest chefs.
Sponsors of the Gala enjoy a wealth of benefits, including the Gala itself, special passes to Jazz Fest (with unlimited re–entry), public recognition of their support and the pride of having contributed to one of New Orleans’ most active and generous arts institutions.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation is in many ways the ultimate Social Aid and Pleasure Club — that unique type of New Orleans organization whose purpose is to promote, preserve, perpetuate and celebrate the joy and well-being of its own community.
By participating in the Gala, a sponsor can march at the head of our never–ending second–line parade, honoring our great culture with reverence and sustenance.
Proceeds from the Gala support the Don Jamison Heritage School of Music, a program of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, a 501©3 nonprofit corporation.
