New Oreleans is a hub for culture, art and music! With countless festivals year round, people are provided with many opportunities to discover something new about this exciting city.

From September 30th to October 2nd, The International Arts Foundation will reintroduce the International Arts Festival: NOLA, “a celebration of music, culture and people”.   

“INTERNATIONAL ARTS FEST: NOLA is a global symphony of music that will be curated to celebrate the beauty of art envisioned through the lens of instruments, paint brushes, voices, imagery, and poetry, which represent the culture of New Orleans.”

business and economic agenda.”
