New Orleans has once again pulled together a musical cornucopia for anyone looking for a weekend chock full of any kind of music imaginable. Held over two weekends at the end of April/first of May, the New Orleans Jazz Festival draws more than 400,000 to the bayou for a feast of blues, R&B, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, Latin, rap, country, rock, pop, along with plenty of contemporary and traditional jazz.

This incredible musical lineup screams for a group trip, and a coach rental is the safest way to get your krewe in and out of the festivities, while keeping everyone together. The festival is located in a residential area, so a coach will allow everyone to get there as a group. Additionally, the chauffeured ride will allow the group travelers to fully take in the spirits of the event without the worry of driving.
