The second weekend four-day pass is currently running for $329 and will increase to $369. For added perks and standing room closer to the stages, the fest is also offering several tiers of VIP tickets for those looking for a more luxurious experience. Ticket prices for individual days will be released closer to the festival.

Fans come for the wide range of musical performances on offer and stay all day for the food and drinks that are served. Fest attendees can expect NOLA's best red beans, crawfish étouffée, several types of po-boys, muffulettas, fresh squeezed lemonade, sno-balls, and so much more. On walks between the multiple large performance stages and tents featuring blues and gospel music, fans can peruse the Congo Square African Marketplace, the Louisiana Marketplace, and contemporary crafts among other works of art. There will also be tents dedicated to the Native American heritage of Louisiana, folklife of the state, and overall unique cultural exchange that makes the sate what it is.

Between the incredible musical headliners, food, art, and cultural experiences, this year's Jazz Fest is set to be the best one yet. Don your best BayouWear outfit and enjoy Jazz Fest 2025!
