It’s not hard to be charmed by Fort Langley...” 🎷✨

We are so honored to be featured in The Georgia Straight ahead of this week’s Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival! The article captures the heart of what makes our festival so special: activating our historic village with world-class music, vibrant visual arts, interactive workshops, and Indigenous cultural activities.

As Executive Director Karen Zukas shared with the Georgia Straight, creating an accessible, walkable, and inclusive space for everyone is at the core of what we do, from our free community weekend of live music, art and culture to incredible headline shows like the Daniel Hersog Jazz Orchestra concert, Lorval Developments Cool Blues Show and Laila Biali’s Generation X Meets Next Gen performance.

Building a festival like this literally takes a village - and in today’s challenging economic landscape, community support matters more than ever.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Fort Langley this week (July 23–26)!

Has never performed in Louisiana. Is currently scheduling a world tour for 2027. I can think of no crowd who would appreciate him more than jazzfest. People have been saying international attendance has been declining. Takanaka in the blues tent would heal generational trauma.

I just got it back from being framed today and got it hung up. One of my favorites over that past several years. Really pleased with how it turned out and really cool poster overall.

Random question-anyone know who makes the folding chairs for purchase at the general store at JF? The name is usually on the chair. I

I just saw them at Gov ball and omg I need to do that again.

Anyone know of anywhere that buys/sells old jazz fest posters?

I am really curious about the quality of the recordings as well as the quality of the pressing (more so for vinyl).

My love for Astral Project (drummer JV + bassist JS combo) live performances is out of this world (pun intended). Just want to know if the vinyl recordings are worth it? Is it better to purchase CD or digital?

ordered mine April 26 and just received my tracking number on may 27. hope this eases someone’s stress

hello all my jazzfest peeps. We traveled to NO from the westcoast for the first weekend of jazzfest. I have not attended in over 20 years and wow it's changed. We want to go back next year but have a 4 day super pass so we don't have to play the chair game and have access to shade a maybe a bar. How do I find out when they go on sale - is there a mailing list or should I join a certain group like here on reddit or something similar?

After enjoying this year's Fest, I'm trying to collect photos of all the Jazz Fest Hawaiian shirts and need photos of the 1986 and 1993 shirts. If anyone has a photo to share or even a description it would be greatly appreciated. I've looked on Art4Now / Bayou Wear web site with no luck.

Between Mardis Gras celebrations back at home, in season crawfish boils and closing it out with a trip to Jazz Fest, even living back in NC Festival Season is my favorite time of the year. Between New Orleans festivities, March Madness, and the weather I just seem to be in my best mood this time of year.

Anyone else feel like festival season is their "happy time"?

Anybody been able to find a good recording of their set from Sunday? I know its still a bit early but was wondering if anyone has stumbled upon something better than some short YouTube crowd videos. I really wanted to see this show but got kinda locked in to the Tedeschi Trucks show at Gentilly. I don't regret my decision at all, that TTB set was one of the better Fest closers I've ever seen, but would really like to hear some of what I missed.

If not a recordings what about some reviews from somebody that was there?

Was wondering if anyone saw this, and got some pictures or video they would share.
We were not able to go this year, but got big family love for Long Tall Marcia Ball, and heard she was there and played on one song!
Like to just hear if you got the chance to be there! Thanks

Vieux Farka Touré put on such a good show, been looking for his setlist because it was immaculate and i’m a newer fan, therefore idk which ones i heard. it’s a super niche genre as well so i’ve had no luck when searching the internet.
