2025 Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival VIP EXPERIENCE Welcome to the 18th annual Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival, presented by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation. By New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation Date and time Location Performers at the 2025 edition include Devon Allman’s Blues Summit featuring the Devon Allman Project, Larry McCray, Jimmy Hall and Sierra Green, Tab Benoit, Bobby Rush and more! The festival begins on Friday, Oct. 10, and continues with two stages of music, lots of great food, and an arts market all day on Saturday, Oct. 11, and Sunday, Oct. 12. It all takes place in New Orleans' beautiful Lafayette Square Park. Admission to the general public is free but we are offering a limited, exclusive opportunity to purchase access to our VIP guest area. The revenue from these ticket sales helps to offset the enormous expense of putting on the festival. (We do not, however, generate a profit: The costs of staging the festival far exceed the revenue we earn from concessions, sponsorships, VIP Experience ticket sales and donations.) The price for the VIP Experience is $300 per ticket, plus processing fees of $15.99, for a total of $315.99 per person. The package includes: Access to our VIP viewing area at the St. Charles Avenue stage, with seating areas for stage viewing (approx. 30 seats) and side-of-stage viewing (approx. 50 seats). This area also includes a complimentary bar with beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks. Access to our VIP viewing and seating area directly in front of the Camp Street stage (approx. 50 seats). Access to our exclusive VIP hospitality lounge. The lounge is indoors, with bathrooms, comfortable seating, a complimentary bar and light snacks. Please note: The hospitality lounge will not be open on Friday, Oct. 10. It will be open from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, and Sunday, Oct. 12. VIP Experience credentials are valid for the entire duration of the festival. We do not sell single-day credentials. VIP Experience credentials are non-transferrable. They may not be taken from one person and given to another. Doing so will cause the credential to be confiscated. All beverages and food in the VIP hospitality areas must be consumed in those areas. Beverages and food from the VIP hospitality areas may not be brought to other parts of the festival grounds. Those with access to VIP hospitality areas may not give or pass beverages or food to those who do not have VIP credentials. Violating this policy will cause the credential to be confiscated. VIP Experience ticket-purchasers may bring up to two children up to age 10. Children age 11 and older must have their own purchased credential. All sales are final. No refunds will be given for any reason .
