This fall, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation will present two of its popular festivals on one weekend - Treme Creole Gumbo Festival and Congo Square Rhythms Festival.

The festivals will take place Saturday, November 16th and Sunday, November 17th in Congo Square and Louis Armstrong Park, 11a-7:30p. Admission is still free and open to the public.

There will be two stages of music celebrating the New Orleans traditions that spring from the African diaspora: jazz, funk, contemporary and traditional brass band, gospel and rhythm & blues. African drumming and dance will be a continued highlight at Congo Square Rhythms Festival, as well as, the annual Mardi Gras Indian "battle" with tribes from various neighborhoods.
