The online bidding ends Wednesday, April 24 at 9 p.m. The bidding won't be available for too much longer, so it's time to place your bets.
Big Easy Cruise
Enjoy a week-long voyage on The Big Easy Cruise, which will set sail in January 2025. The cruise will take place January 5-12, 2025. The cruise will be making stops in Fort Lauderdale, Key West, Belize City, and Cozumel.
There will be over 75 live performances by Louisiana artists such as Trombone Shorty and Tab Benoit, along with interactive events, cooking demonstrations, jam sessions, and more. The cruise will be on the Holland America Line Nieuw Amsterdam.
Jazz Fest Cabana
There's no better way to watch live performances at Jazz Fest than in their private cabanas. You can bid on access to one of the festival's brand new cabanas for Sunday, May 5.
The cabana allows for a perfect view of the Festival Stage with complimentary drinks, parking passes, restrooms, and more. It is shaded and fits 20-30 people, so it is the perfect option for a group.
Artwork
If you go to Jazz Fest to look at all the art vendors to see what the artists have to offer, you can bid on some of their artworks. You can bid on unique clothing, jewelry, exclusive one-of-a-kind items, and much more.
Show support for your local Louisiana artists, while also receiving a one-of-a-kind collectable in the process.
