Louisiana Jazz & Heritage Festival
I attended this festival from 1973-1978 and back then it was known as the "Louisiana Jazz & Heritage Festival". I assume it was called that because a good share of the acts were Cajun. However, not all of the acts were from Louisiana. Also, up to 1978 it was never widely known as "JazzFest".Dangnad (talk) 06:06, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I think there could me more info added about indigenous music and the stages as well. Luliloisel (talk) 00:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Article needs massive cleanup
This article was made into a mess by a couple of students, it would be nice if someone copyedited it. Pink Saffron (talk) 20:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I've tweaked the lead a bit, added some info about the Festival's first-ever cancellation/rescheduling because of COVID-19, and will focus on the body text later today as time permits.  Atsme 💬 📧 15:59, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for cleaning this article up for us. We felt we added so much more to it than the original article. It was our first time working with Wiki so we had a lot to learn.Whodatmom (talk) 23:53, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome. It was actually my pleasure as well as a learning experience relative to the Festival & all the wonderful work the Foundation is doing (says this avid Jazz fan 🎺🎶).  Atsme 💬 📧 01:22, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear this. I also contributed a couple sources myself, but I don't have any historic New Orleans newspapers prior to about the late 1980s or early 1990s. If you ever want to do more work on Wikipedia articles, I would be more than glad to assist — you can contact me on my user talk page! Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 05:54, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
