NOLA Funk Fest
NOLA Funk Fest is a multi-day music festival celebrating the sounds, culture, and community that make Louisiana music unlike anywhere else in the world. Featuring legendary artists, emerging talent, and immersive cultural experiences, the festival brings together fans from across the country to experience funk, soul, and the music born from New Orleans’ rich traditions.
NOLA Funk Fest is also deeply connected to the Louisiana Music & Heritage Experience (LMHE) — an ambitious museum project dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and educating the world about Louisiana’s musical legacy. The festival serves as a living expression of LMHE’s mission, showcasing the artists, stories, and cultural traditions that the museum will honor year-round.
Together, NOLA Funk Fest and LMHE support working musicians, pay artists and crews above market wages, and invest in cultural preservation through live performance, education, and storytelling. By attending the festival, fans aren’t just enjoying great music — they’re helping build a lasting home for Louisiana’s music and heritage for generations to come.
