About this event
In 2016, Dr. Summerall-Jabro conducted an in-depth examination of Jazz Fest’s first decade of press coverage—a pivotal era from 1970 to 1979 when the festival’s rapid rise sparked harmony and discord across New Orleans. During this period, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation evolved from principally serving as Jazz Fest’s fiduciary into a driving force for community engagement. This shift laid the foundation for the very first Community Partnership Grants, marking a new chapter in the Foundation’s mission. Through the lens of PR and marketing, Dr. Summerall-Jabro will uncover how storytelling and strategy shaped Jazz Fest’s early identity and enduring legacy.
