"Nickel-A-Dance Soirees"

Email this Page Printer Friendly Page

Swing, dance, listen, chill, and celebrate jazz every Sunday afternoon through November 21 at Cafe Brazil, 2100 Chartres Street in the Marigny Triangle below the French Quarter. What began as one concert ten years ago has grown into an 8-week series featuring the best of New Orleans' Jazz Bands. The Jazz Centennial Celebration and a range of other sponsors stage the free "soirees" which draw neighborhood jazz lovers, families and dancers from across the city helping to revive the old neighborhood dance traditions. This is the kind of fun you can only find in New Orleans. There is no admission charge for the concert/dances which are held from 4-7 p.m. All ages are welcome.

Here's the line-up!
