Jazz Fest stands by Haiti - JF50 Time Capsule

Jazz Fest’s Cultural Exchange Pavilion was established in 1996 to honor New Orleans' cultural ancestry. In 2011, the Cultural Exchange put a spotlight on our sister country in the Caribbean, Haiti. It was the year after a devastating earthquake struck the country, and Jazz Fest served as the first large gathering of Haiti's artist community since the disaster.
