SANTA BARBARA, CA (CelebrityAccess) — FestForums, the annual business conference for the festival industry, announced that the iconic New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has been named as the 2025 Festival of the Year.
“On behalf of myself and the brilliant producers of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, we gratefully appreciate this honor. Created in 1970 by the festival visionary George Wein, Jazz Fest’s dedication to New Orleans and its unique place in the world’s culture has continued to be the guiding light. George’s belief that a festival celebrating the roots of Jazz through the bountiful genres flourishing in New Orleans would attract people from all over has proven out. Thanks to everyone at FestForums for this honor and for your passionate commitment to celebrating the magic of festivals,” said Quint Davis, Producer/Director, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The festival will be honored at the 2025 edition of the FestForums Conference, which is scheduled to take place from February 12-14 at the Mar Monte Hotel in Santa Barbara, CA.
