NEW ORLEANS, LA - NOLA Funk Fest, the Crescent City's celebration of authentic New Orleans funk, returns this October for three soulful days of live music, dance, and culture.

October 17-19, 2025 at Spanish Plaza, New Orleans, attendees will experience frontrow energy, dance circles that spark on their own, and food and drink that keep the good times rolling.
