The live experience
What reaches the room
The name Congo Square evokes a pivotal chapter in American music history. Located at the junction of Rampart and St. Peter Streets inside Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans, Congo Square is tied to enslaved Africans who gathered for music and dance, helping birth rhythms that would shape jazz, zydeco, and beyond. Today, fans discover and celebrate that lineage through performances, festivals, and community events in the heart of New Orleans’ Crescent City.
