New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival

Sunday, I had the pleasure to visit the Jazzfest, a popular annual festival over two weekends that "celebrates the indigenous music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana". But there's not only Jazz to see and listen to but also various different kinds of music like Latin, rock, country, blues etc. Most of of the acts are local but a couple are also nationally or internationally known. What's also really nice is the wide variety of vendors with local foods and crafts.

We got there around 1pm and first checked out the festival-area a little bit. We had lunch, chilled in the sun while listening to live jazz and sipping some daiquiries. Later we went to see Bruce Springsteen. It was a really nice day (we've been slightly disappointed though because Bruce didn't play the only song we really knew and were waiting for 2 and a half hours, Born in the USA... :) )
