Come out and celebrate the Mississippi River at the
New Orleans Jazz Museum with all of your might on October 23! This year's
River Fest is coming in hot, but that kind of heat will hopefully be more
tolerable with everything residents and visitors could partake in.
Unless you were living under a rock, you all know that
last year's River Fest was held via Facebook live. In the wake of COVID-19,
many events were either canceled or went virtual. Slowly but surely, the city
has gotten the hang of taking heed to various restrictions and is trying to shake
back from the massive blow of the pandemic. Many of the residents are excited
to experience the spirit of New Orleans again. Many of us were yearning to get
a feel of how everything used to be, and we all have a chance to live it up
again—yet we must consider the health of others while enjoying the festivities.
According to the history of NOLA River
Fest,
it "encourages guests to invest thought and action into the preservation of the
community that gathered to celebrate." The city is big on education as much as
it is on entertainment. Most of the passion people have for New Orleans is
rooted in their knowledge of the city and their desire to preserve and nurture
it. When you know better, you do better. Wouldn't you agree? The many festivals
we love attending often provide an educational aspect, and more appreciation
blossoms with learning about the history of such events.
People have been attending River Fest and celebrating
the Mighty Mississippi for the last eight years, and it costs nothing but your
time and an open mind.
Tremé-Lafitte Brass Band, Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots, and National Park Service Band are among other artists in this year's lineup and are sure to leave a lasting impression.
