New Orleans Landmark Transportation
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is held each spring at the Fair Grounds Race Course in Gentilly, the oldest continuously operating racetrack in the United States, and MSY Limo Service runs chauffeured transportation to and from the grounds throughout the festival's two weekends.
Jazz Fest days bring street closures and dense foot traffic around the Fair Grounds that make a reserved pickup point far more reliable than trying to flag a rideshare at the gates when tens of thousands of people are leaving at once. We stage a pickup corner away from the main crush and coordinate the meeting time by text as the day winds down.
Festival-goers flying in for the weekend get the same flight-tracked MSY pickup we provide year-round, with hotel drop-off before the festival and a return transfer booked for whenever the trip ends.
Gentilly's streets around the Fair Grounds close to general traffic on festival days, and parking fills early, which makes a drop-off further out and a short walk in the more realistic plan for most visitors. We know which streets stay open longest and plan the drop-off accordingly rather than guessing at the gate.
A reserved car avoids the two festival-day problems rideshare runs into most: surge pricing when the gates open and close, and the sheer difficulty of finding your specific driver in a crowd of tens of thousands leaving at the same time.
The exit crowd after the final set of the day is the hardest part of any Jazz Fest trip, and we coordinate the pickup by text so your chauffeur is staged and moving toward the agreed corner as you walk out, rather than circling the block hoping to find you.
Groups of friends attending together often book a Sprinter van for the whole festival run, which keeps everyone on one reservation rather than several separate rides converging on the same gate.
Out-of-town festival-goers get the same flight-tracked MSY pickup as any other visitor, about 17 miles and 25 to 35 minutes from the Fair Grounds, with a hotel drop-off before the festival and a return transfer booked for whenever the trip wraps up.
Because festival weekends are a peak demand period across the city, we recommend reserving transportation as early as the festival dates are announced, particularly for Sprinter vans and larger groups.
