From Trumpets to Strumpets the New Orleans Burlesque Festival

We’re all familiar with the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the French Quarter Festival, two of the Crescent City’s most popular celebrations of music.

But every September the focus shifts from trumpets to strumpets at the New Orleans Burlesque Festival. This year, the 11th annual bawdy bash takes place Sept. 13-15, at two venues, the House of Blues, 225 Decatur St., and the Civic Theatre, 510 O’Keefe Ave.
