The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival continued over the weekend. The annual springtime format brought hordes of locals and globetrotters alike to the Fair Grounds Race Course for an unmatched and ceaseless offering of live entertainment on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25. The second day of the time-honored tradition featured a massive outpouring of highlights from Jon Batiste, Hiromi, Ani DiFranco, Cyril Neville, Astral Project, GIVERS, Papa Mali, Parlor Greens, and countless others. 

Like the event's onset, which made headlines and delivered palatable moments that spoke to each artist’s capacity to generate lifelong memories on stage, Saturday, April 25, maintained the same verve as Friday for musicians and attendees. The schedule was emphasized by Rhiannon Giddens, Bruce Hornsby & The Noise Makers, Tyler Childers, The Revivalist, Samantha Fish, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, and many more. 

On location was photographer Dino Perrucci, who shared his shots with Relix.
