2026 crescent city blues & bbq festival

The 20th annual Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival is Oct. 9-1l in New Orleans’ Lafayette Square Park. Featured artists include Samantha Fish, Booker T. Jones, Little Freddie King, Johnny Sansone, & more! See the complete lineup HERE

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who have a general knowledge of the New Orleans area. Many festival-goers are from out of town and enjoy locals’ suggestions on where to eat, listen to music, etc. Volunteers are the backbone of the festival. You ensure the needs of the guests and artists are being addressed, and we could not put on a world-class event like the Crescent Blues & BBQ Festival without your help.

You can also choose to volunteer as a Festival Greeter or work in the T-shirt/Merchandise booth. If either of these positions interests you, please call Shanna Hudson Stowe at 504-265-0147.
