Dominican NOLA Fest is a chance to share and commemorate fundamental aspects of Dominican and Latino culture through food, music, dance, and traditional cuisine. We hope you can join us in this joyful celebration of the New Orleans Dominican community. 

The festival supports and brings awareness to the museums’ JAZZ INTERNATIONAL initiative and its partners in the Dominican Republic. Partners include the Ministry of Culture, University Autonomous of Santo Domingo, Bella des Artes, and Acroarte. As well as Hipolito Guerrero, violinist at Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, who has collaborated with the museum to build out a new Ruth U. Fertel Jazz Lab at his music school.
