A core part of the French Quarter Festivals, Inc. (FQFI) mission is to uplift and sustain local artists—each year, we hire over 1,600 musicians to perform at the festival.
Individual music lovers and community-minded businesses make this possible through their support of our performance program.
Performance sponsorships offer a meaningful way to connect with the festival, support local musicians, and engage with hundreds of thousands of attendees. Opportunities are available at various levels to suit different budgets, making sponsorship accessible for businesses and individuals alike.
