Funk Fest took on the French Quarter in its yearly celebration of New Orleans music. Featuring all types of funk, the festival united people in benefit of the The Louisiana Music and Heritage Experience.
The festival offered vibrant food, funky music, and a taste of what the museum would offer inside.
The Passing The Torch stage, sponsored by Loyola University New Orleans and New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, mirrored the importance of music education by featuring young music students.
From music industry legends to up-and-coming artists, Funk Fest’s artists got the crowd dancing and singing throughout the weekend.
