A Fall Packed with Music
The music scene in New Orleans is vibrant and full of different kinds of music. Every autumn, the whole city of New Orleans gets together for NOLAxNOLA, a music festival with cultural events over two fun-filled weekends. NOLAxNOLA shows how crucial local music venues, singers, and artists are to New Orleans. People can enjoy a wide range of live entertainment at the city’s many beautiful performance places, music halls, and clubs.
There are more live events to come! In October, New Orleans will host the first-ever Music Month. Anyone who likes music is welcome to go there. Come to various performances, a conference on the new music business, and several neighbourhood festivals.
At the end of Music Month, NOLA MusiCon gives people who want to learn more about the music business a unique opportunity to do so. New Orleans is the right place for this event because it is in the middle of one of the most diverse music scenes in the world. MusiCon has three and a half days of workshops, conferences, inspiring interviews, and much more where people who work in the music business talk about the business.
New Orleans celebrates Halloween.
