Music tour category
Our music festival travel packages exist because the hard part of a festival is the hotel, the tickets and the crowds. We handle the first two and help with the third.
Big American music festivals sell out their hotels a year ahead. We hold rooms close to the action as soon as the dates are known, buy the passes for you, and run our own shuttles where the grounds are far from the hotel.
New Orleans has three of our festival dates: French Quarter Fest in April, free and spread across the old city; the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on the last weekend of April and the first of May, with a dozen stages at the Fair Grounds; and Satchmo SummerFest in early August, a smaller tribute to Louis Armstrong.
Austin has SXSW music week in March, when hundreds of bands play showcases in every bar, and the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Zilker Park on two weekends in October. In the Delta, the Juke Joint Festival fills Clarksdale every April; our Blues Trail tour has a date timed to it.
Your tour leader plans each festival day with you, holds fixed meeting points, and books club shows for the evenings, when the festival musicians often play small rooms.
