As the premier kickoff to our global phenomenon, the renowned New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, this party sets the stage for eight extravagant days of musical and cultural expression like no other on the planet! Expect captivating performances, exquisite cuisine, and lively dancing as musicians, artists, and supporters of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation come together for this memorable evening.
An exciting highlight of the Gala is our silent auction, offering you the opportunity to bid on a curated selection of appealing items and experiences. From unique artwork and signed memorabilia to once-in-a-lifetime vacations and VIP access to events, the auction items reflect New Orleans’ unique culture and creativity.
Revenue from the Gala directly supports the Don "Moose" Jamison Heritage School of Music (HSM). From providing free, high-quality music instruction to more than 200+ children each week to ensuring access to instruments, instructors, and culturally rooted curriculum, every dollar raised directly supports HSM students and their musical journeys.
