The second annual Treme Creole Gumbo Festival will take place at the parking lot of The Jazz and Heritage Center. This festival celebrates the history of Faubourg Treme as a hotbed of New Orleans musical and culinary culture. One stage of music will showcase the best jazz, blues and R&B artists from Treme. Trumpeter Kermit Ruffins is scheduled to headline the event on Dec. 12.
Several outstanding New Orleans Creole restaurants will be on hand selling their own takes on gumbo and other local delicacies. Locally made wearable art, jewelry and home furnishings will be featured in the festival’s Arts & Crafts Market. The festival also includes the fourth annual Jazz & Heritage Holiday Bazaar - a special sale of official Jazz Fest t-shirts, posters and other collectibles.
