And What About All That Jazz?
Come early or stay late - Plain Talk is sandwiched between two incredible Jazz Fest weekends! Either way, you’ll have a music experience you’ll never forget. The 2010 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival will take place just before and after Plain Talk – April 23-25 & April 29-May 2. Like Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest is what makes New Orleans one of the most popular cities in the world to visit. Jazz Fest features an all star line-up of entertainers, food and crafts.
