French Quarter Festival /
Satchmo Summerfest Sponsorship
Procurement

Rehage has been hired by French Quarter Festival Inc. (FQFI) to handle sponsorship procurement for the 25th Annual French Quarter Festival and the 8th Annual Satchmo Summerfest. FQFI is a 501-c3 non-profit organization with the mission to produce high quality special events and activities that showcase the culture and heritage of New Orleans, contribute to the economic well-being of the community, and instill increased pride in the residents of the city.

The French Quarter Festival was started in 1984 with the simple goal of bringing locals back to the French Quarter. Now twenty-five years later it is the largest free festival in the South with an average attendance of between 400,000 and 450,000 annually. This year’s French Quarter Festival will be held April 11 -13 with 14 stages and over 700 musicians in Jackson Square, Woldenberg Park on the Mississippi River, the Old U.S. Mint and on Bourbon and Royal Streets.

Satchmo Summerfest was created in 2000 to commemorate the 100th birthday of trumpeter Louis Armstrong and continues today as a celebration of his musical contributions and influence. This year’s event will take place at the old U.S. Mint August 1–3.
