French Quarter Fest Nighttime Show! Get ready to move. The beloved funk collective, Tribe Nunzio is back for an Ode to Spring—bringing the groove that makes you want to move. Known for their high-energy shows in the gay 90s that packed dance floors across the city and the USA, The Tribe has evolved into a 21st century family of New Orleans musicians. Original members Holden Miller, Jeff Treffinger, Vernon Rome and Joe Cabral will be joined by Rene Coman on keyboards, Kyle Melancon on drums, Ovi Giron’ on percussion, Alex McMurray on guitar with Alice Redmann singing background vocals. We will also be joined by a chorus of beautiful Sheros to put a feather in it all. Come share the love! Tickets $20 (*wear hot pants, free admission*)

If you are looking for things to do while on while vacation in the French Quarter, find an event from the list below and have a celebration with old friends or new friends. Discover local jazz band schedules and more. As we often say in New Orleans, laissez les bon temps rouler – let the good times roll!
