French Quarter Fest's VIP Tickets

French Quarter Fest is a free lively music festival that takes place in New Orleans' French Quarter every year, which also offers special VIP tickets.

They have food booths and stages in iconic locations such as Jackson Square, the Riverfront, and Bourbon Street. This year, the festival will be Thursday, April 16, through Sunday, April 19, with PJ Morton and many others as headliners.

While French Quarter Fest is free for anyone interested, they also offer VIP tickets to those interested in a more elevated experience. Their VIP experiences range in price and what is included.
