What is the Fest Family?

French Quarter Festivals, Inc (FQFI) is proud to announce the inception of its new membership program, the Fest Family. Fest Family memberships were developed to provide festivalgoers with a true ' insiders' experience, and to ensure a strong future for French Quarter Festivals, Inc. Fest Family memberships provide essential funding for these free community festivals and events, which employ musicians and artists, impact young generations of performers, preserve our unique culture and heritage, attract visitors, and add to the quality of life in the community.

 Membership levels were designed to appeal to individual partners as well as to larger corporate sponsors. Levels are categorized with a uniquely 'French Quarter feel', with names such as "Chartres Member", Bourbon Street, Woldenberg Park, and Jackson Square Levels and include uniquely FQFI benefits such as tickets to the French Quarter Festival Kick-off party, passes to the invitation-only Satchmo SummerFest opening reception, festival posters and merchandise, and preferential access to hospitality areas during French Quarter Festival. Ranging from $35 to $1,000, memberships are structured to fit all budgets.
