Ratchet Jazz Fest ft. Shamarr Allen, Cyril Neville, Kermit Ruffins, Erica Falls & More!
Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 09:00 pm
June 13, 2026
*4-10pm |* Ratchet Jazz is where New Orleans tradition meets the energy and sound of modern New Orleans. Brainchild of Shamarr Allen, Ratchet Jazz blends “jazz bounce” (a genre he created in 2015), the soul of brass bands, second lines, DJ culture, and raw party spirit that defines modern New Orleans. The result is a sound and experience that feels authentic to the city—live horns, heavy beats, dancing crowds, and the kind of musical freedom that only happens in New Orleans. Ratchet Jazz isn’t just a genre or a show—it’s a celebration of local culture, creativity, and the New Orleans that locals live every day. Featuring Shamarr Allen, Cyril Neville, Kermit Ruffins, Erica Falls, Roi Anthony, Flag Boy Giz, HotBoy Ronald, Roca B, Partners-In-Crime, Keedy Black, Peter Gunz, Joe Blakk, Ricky B, Donte Allen, Roots of Music, DJ Captain Charles, DJ Polo, DJ Poppa, Only 1 Skipa, DJ B Sharp, DJ DNA, Shaddy Feel Good, Mario P & Shervey. Hosted by Wild Wayne and HaSizzle. Tickets start at $39.19 GA

Pridefest 2026 ft. Tony & the Kiki + More!
Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 10:00 pm
June 13, 2026
Pride celebrations in New Orleans date back to the early 1970s when the city’s LGBTQ+ community organized various events and activities to commemorate the strides of the movement and advocate for LGBTQ+ equality. Celebrations in the city grew each year, and eventually a festival became a staple of Pride, typically held on the Saturday before Father’s Day. Held at various locations including Armstrong Park in Treme and Washington Square in the Marigny, the community now comes to the corner of Rampart Street and Elysian Fields Avenue each June for New Orleans Pridefest, the evolution of the massively successful Pride Block Parties outside the Phoenix Bar [1] that began in 2015. The festival is the largest Pride celebration in Louisiana and draws thousands of attendees from the New Orleans metro area, the Gulf South, and from across the United States *5-9pm: *Live Music, Burlesque, Drag, and Dance! *9pm:* Tony & the Kiki [1] https://phoenixbarnola.com/
