Join us in ringing in the New Year New Orleans style! We'll help you celebrate safely by featuring some of the best live performances from years past. On New Year's Eve, transport to intimate venue performances with some of the biggest names from New Orleans music including Aaron Neville, Irma Thomas, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Henry Butler, and more. Then, we're welcoming 2021 with a 3-day "Fest in Place" featuring classic and recent performances from New Orleans music festivals, clubs and WWOZ studio sets. More details to come!
