RHYTHMIC ARTS & SATCHMO SUMMERFEST

New Orleans, LA
August 5-8, 2010

The 10th Annual Satchmo Summerfest is a local favorite……Another free live music festival brought to us by Marci and her crew at French Quarter Festivals, Inc. The Rhythmic Arts Festival incorporates free dance lessons, contests, and social dancing into this already wonderful event and hosts affordable evening dances with special performances on Saturday and Sunday. We also try to accommodate out-of-town dancers with hosting, but space is limited.

DAYLIGHT DANCES will feature an indoor dance floor and an air-conditioned, non-smoking atmosphere with free live music and free dance classes for all ages and ability levels.

EVENING DANCES will feature live music and special performances for the affordable price of $15 each for Saturday and Sunday.

Hope you're coming back to New Orleans.
