THE FOOD HERITAGE STAGE offers visitors an opportunity to watch some of Louisiana’s best chefs in action. It is an exciting way to learn more about (and maybe sample!) some of the region’s rich cultural heritage. The demonstrators will celebrate the amazing seafood and other local ingredients that make our area so special, while showcasing modern takes on classic dishes. This year, as part of Jazz Fest’s Cultural Exchange Program, we are also highlighting chefs and dishes from Puerto Rico.

Returning to the party is one of our crowd favorites – the Drag Queen Brunch!

Our efforts this year are dedicated to the long time Food Heritage Stage Manager who has retired and gone off to see the world! Thanks Kay Roussell!
