Preserving the authentic spirit of old-school jazz, in the heart of New Orleans, lies the Preservation Hall. Known around the world as a spectacular haven of music and culture, the Hall is situated right in the heart of the French Quarter, famous for its vibrant music and arts scene. Travelers, music enthusiasts, and cultural explorers are magnetically drawn to experience this historic icon that epitomizes the city’s rich musical heritage.

Established in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe, Preservation Hall has evolved from a casual music space into the cultural powerhouse that it is today. Spanning a globe-trotting half-century journey, the Hall has promoted and preserved New Orleans' traditional jazz music to the world. This building is a testament to the golden era of jazz, a true bastion of musical culture in the area. Although small and simple in architecture, the Hall's interior brims with an incomparable authentic richness: its well-worn pews and unassuming stage have become integral to the musical tradition of New Orleans.

Brimming with highlights, the Preservation Hall is the nightly stage to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, an ensemble that continues to promote and share the joy of traditional New Orleans jazz. Despite its global fame, the Hall retains an intimate charm with its rustic decor and beautifully aged wooden floors creating the perfect ambience for the soul-stirring, foot-tapping performances that habitually thrill audiences. Visitors are encouraged to attend the nightly concerts, where no amplification is used, allowing the pure and raw sounds of the music to echo through the intimate space.

It's not just great music that awaits visitors, but a rare opportunity to connect intimately with a truly New Orleans tradition. Exploring the Preservation Hall means soaking in the soaked-in atmosphere, appreciating the archaic, yet artistically stirring, faded paint on the walls and the very hallowed air that was breathed by legendary musicians. Reveling in the unique, hands-on classes and workshops that are offered, guests will not only listen to, but feel and understand the pulse and rhythm of this incredible living history.

To sum up, Preservation Hall is not only a point of interest, but it's the beating heart of New Orleans' musical heritage, an epitome of cultural immersion, and an unmissable stop for any visitor to this city. Offering an enriching musical experience by capturing the vibrant soul of the city, Preservation Hall epitomizes a heritage that continues to play a lively rhythm in the heart of the city and its visitors.
