Question

Is there food at Jazz Fest?

Jazz Fest is a culinary adventure as much as a music festival. You can indulge in a Cochon de Lait Po'Boy, or try a Yakiniku Po'Boy, a fusion of Japanese grilled beef and the iconic Louisiana sandwich. Maybe a Crawfish Enchilada with a Mango Freeze is more you style. Check that Fest Photos section for some sneak peaks!

Question

What are "the cubes"?

Answer

The term "the cubes" refers to the performance schedule grids that are used to organize the performances over the festival's two-weekend span. Each cube represents a time slot during which an artist or group is performing on one of the festival’s multiple stages. Since Jazz Fest features dozens of performers across multiple stages, the schedule can get very complex. In essence, "the cubes" are a shorthand reference to the detailed, time-based schedule grid that organizes who is playing when and where.

Question

Is Jazz Fest cashless?
