On the evening of Wednesday, April 23ra, 2025, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation will hold its 25th Annual Jazz & Heritage Gala for an evening of great music, fine dining, and dancing. The Gala kicks off the 2025 Jazz Fest year and is a fundraiser for programs of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, including the Heritage School of Music. The Gala attracts a wide array of corporate and individual Jazz Fest supporters from around the globe.

We kindly ask for your support of this event through the donation of an auction item. Your donation of an item will directly support the full scope of programming the Foundation provides, including the Don Jamison Heritage School of Music. The School of Music provides nearly 250 school-aged students with free-of-charge lessons taught by the finest musicians and educators in New Orleans. The silent auction is a major fundraising component of the Gala that advances our mission to promote and perpetuate the music, culture, and heritage of New Orleans.
