My first jazz festival was 1975. It wasn't mainly jazz even then. I'm not sure if it ever was mainly jazz. There is a little bit of everything- music, art, great food and it is a lot of fun. It used to be a lot less crowded, but someone let the cat out of the bag years ago.
We pretty much quit going when it got shoulder to shoulder. At one time we could take the kids and a blanket and sit down and see the stage. Now you would be trampled. Obviously, it is even more popular now with better acts, but not as family friendly.
If you ever plan a trip to NO, Jazz Fest is a good excuse.
