New Orlean: In view of the increasing cases of Kovid-19 in Louisiana, USA, ‘The New Orleans Jazz Heritage Festival’ will not be held this year as well. The organizers gave this information on Sunday. The festival is usually held in the spring, but this year the dates were fixed from October 8 to October 10 and October 15 to October 17.
Last year also the program was canceled due to the global pandemic of Covid-19. The organizers announced that the festival would not go as planned, citing the current situation of COVID-19 in the region as well as a public health emergency. “We are now looking forward to the next spring season when we will be able to organize it according to the traditional timing of the festival,” the organizers said in a press release.
The organizers said that next year the festival will be organized from April 29 to May 8. According to the release, an ‘e-mail’ will be sent to those who have booked tickets for this year’s event this week with all the detailed information including the process of refund of tickets. Jazz Fest is held as a celebration of the ethnic music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana.
