The festival
The Tremé is the oldest black quarter in the United States — and the cradle of jazz. Every fall, the Tremé Fall Festival beats its heart around the church of Saint-Augustin, the country's oldest black Catholic parish: second line led by a band, live music, Creole cuisine, crafts and living memory, in the streets where jazz was born.
Organized by the Historic Faubourg Tremé Association, the festival — free and open to all — finances the preservation of the heritage of the neighborhood; its visual 2026 is signed by artist Christina F. Pappion, and the edition honours Wanda Rouzan and Luther Gray this year.
