Admission to the Tremé Creole Gumbo Festival is free, but we will have donation boxes set up at most of the park entrances. If you want to help us keep our events free, please support us with the donation of your choice.

Like all of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation Community Festivals, the Tremé Creole Gumbo Festival is completely free and open to the public – part of the community investment made by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation. Donations, however, are gratefully accepted. If you would like to support the Foundation and help keep this event free, please make the tax-deductible contribution of your choice here.

PLEASE: Except for those with small children or dietary restrictions, please do not bring outside food or beverages to the event – no coolers are permitted.

Although Armstrong Park is usually open to pets, for the safety and comfort of the festival’s large audience, the Jazz & Heritage Foundation asks that guests respect their neighbors and leave companion animals at home (except for service animals, of course).

No Recording 

Please: No audio or video recording of our performers.
