紐奧良爵士與遺產音樂節於今日開幕
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival begins today
今天是二〇二六年紐奧良爵士與遺產節，又稱「爵士節」，盛大開幕的日子。
Today marks the exciting start of the 2026 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, or "Jazz Fest."
這場舉世聞名的盛會在具有歷史意義的費爾格朗賽馬場舉行，橫跨兩個週末：四月二十三至二十六日，以及四月三十日至五月三日。
Held at the historic Fair Grounds Race Course, this world-renowned event spans two weekends: April 23–26 and April 30–May 3.
自一九七〇年草創以來，爵士節已成長為重要的文化支柱，其對該市的重要性僅次於狂歡節。
Since its modest start in 1970, Jazz Fest has grown into a major cultural pillar, second only to Mardi Gras in its importance to the city.
遊客能欣賞包含老鷹合唱團、史蒂薇尼克斯以及蘿德等重量級嘉賓的多元音樂陣容，還有傳統的福音、藍調及卡郡音樂。
Visitors can enjoy a diverse musical lineup including headliners like the Eagles, Stevie Nicks, and Lorde, alongside traditional gospel, blues, and Cajun sounds.
除了音樂之外，由於嚴格執行「不賣嘉年華食物」的政策，與會者可以盡情品嚐小龍蝦麵包到法國麵包三明治等道地的路易斯安納佳餚。
Beyond the music, attendees can savor authentic Louisiana cuisine—ranging from crawfish bread to po’boys—thanks to a strict "no carnival food" policy.
作為一場無現金活動，賓客應攜帶信用卡或準備行動支付工具。
As a cashless event, guests should bring credit cards or mobile payment options.
無論您是銅管樂隊或國際饒舌音樂的愛好者，爵士節都在紐奧良的心臟地帶，為您獻上一場難忘的體驗。
Whether you are a fan of brass bands or international rap, Jazz Fest offers an unforgettable experience right in the heart of New Orleans.
