  • Thank You to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation!

    We are proud to share that the Avoyelles Arts & Music Festival was a grant recipient of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation in the category of Jazz & Heritage Presenting: Festivals and Concerts in Music and Performing Arts!!

    Thanks to their generous support, we were able to showcase and support our incredible local musicians who performed at this year’s festival. Their talent and energy are what make our community’s culture so vibrant, and we are deeply grateful to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation for helping us bring that to life.
