Established in 1961 when the future of New Orleans jazz seemed bleak, Preservation Hall was founded to preserve, perpetuate and protect traditional New Orleans Jazz. Still going strong over 50 years later, Preservation Hall puts on three nightly shows and hosts speciality sets (like their famous Midnight Preserves during Jazz Fest) that continue to draw a crowd. Lineup outside early to get a spot in this intimate, one-room venue and immerse yourself in traditional New Orleans Jazz – America’s only original art form – played by veteran masters of the local music scene.
