FQFI ANNUAL REPORT 2023

A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT & CEO Our journey began four decades ago, fueled by a passionate group of civic leaders, a commitment to our city, and a love of our people and our culture. Since 1984, our festivals have blossomed into cornerstones of the city’s cultural calendar. From French Quarter Festival to Satchmo SummerFest and Holidays New Orleans Style, we’ve not only celebrated but also contributed to the cultural tapestry that enriches the quality of our lives and makes our city truly unique. These festivals have grown to be more than events; they are traditions that bring our community together, celebrate the talent and rich culture of our region, and showcase the splendor of the Vieux Carré. As our 40th year comes to a close, it is important to reflect on our journey, acknowledge our growth, and anticipate the evolving needs of our community and our organization. In addition to the community impact this Annual Report details, our team spent much of 2023 developing a longterm strategic framework that lays out a roadmap for growth, innovation, and sustainability. I’m pleased to introduce the five strategic pillars on which we will build the next chapter of our work: 1. Mission Impact: We will redouble our efforts to celebrate New Orleans’ heritage, increasing our support for local musicians, artists, and businesses. Our focus will be on creating impactful experiences that resonate with both residents and visitors, ensuring that all of our programming is an authentic expression of our city’s cultural richness. In doing so we hope to secure our position in our local ecosystem as a critical economic driver and integral thread of New Orleans’ cultural fabric. 2. Financial Sustainability: Our festivals play a significant role in the economic vitality of New Orleans. We will focus on enhancing our own financial sustainability to ensure we can continue to contribute to the economic well-being of the city while providing an exceptional experience for all attendees. We will strive to expand our business model beyond festival-driven income for the purposes of growing staff capacity and expanding the possibilities for FQFI in the future. 3. Optimization: We are committed to operational excellence and steady and continuous improvement. We will strengthen our internal operations and core programming to maximize our current model. Embracing innovation, technology, and best practices will be central to our approach. 4. Growth: We will develop a culture of innovation as we explore new avenues to expand our audience, enhance attendee engagement, and extend the impact of our festivals through strategic partnerships and innovative programming. 5. Thought Leadership: We will leverage our experience and insights to contribute to the broader dialogue on cultural stewardship, festival management, and community engagement, positioning FQFI as a thought leader in culturally and environmentally sustaining festival production. This strategic framework is a reflection our commitment to the city we love, the culture we celebrate, and the community we serve. As we move forward, we do so with respect for our past, enthusiasm for our present, and unwavering hope for our future. Together, we will continue to craft memories that endure and foster a legacy that future generations will cherish. Warmest Regards,

FQFI ANNUAL REPORT 2023

A BRIEF HISTORY French Quarter Festivals, Inc. (FQFI), a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, embarked on its journey in 1983, with a vision to encourage people to return to the French Quarter to support local businesses. Following extensive street and sidewalk construction in preparation for the World’s Fair, Mayor Ernest “Dutch” Morial unveiled plans for the inaugural French Quarter Festival in April 1984. After the success of the six stage event held on Royal St. and Bourbon St., the non-profit organization recognized an opportunity to once again stimulate the local economy during the holiday season. Thus, “A Creole Christmas” (now Holidays New Orleans Style) was born in 1985. With a growing reputation and strong sense of community, FQFI expanded its portfolio by introducing a third event. In August 2001, Satchmo SummerFest came to life in celebration of Louis Armstrong’s 100th birthday. Today, FQFI hosts three events annually: French Quarter Festival presented by Chevron (April), Satchmo SummerFest presented by New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund (August), and Holidays New Orleans Style, in partnership with New Orleans & Company.

1984 (APRIL 6-7 & 14)

The first French Quarter Festival featured impromptu Jazz performances on Bourbon St. and Classical Music performances on Royal St. The first Sunday, April 7 was rained out and re-scheduled for Aprile 14, 1984

1985 The first “A Creole Christmas”(now Holidays New Orleans 1986

FQFI revitalizes a Creole dining tradition and brings Réveillon menus to New Orleans restaurants

Style) was a decorated tree at the police station and the Mardi Gras chorus singing on the steps of the wildlife & fisheries building.

2001 The first Satchmo SummerFest was held in honor of Louis Armstrong’s 100th birthday and the renaming of MSY, now Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

What began as an open call to local musicians to perform on six stages on Royal Street and Bourbon Street, has expanded into a celebrated annual event that welcomed over 875,000 people in 2023 and is a critical economic driver for the city of New Orleans. To celebrate this milestone year, festival organizers planned a special opening day lineup that kicked off with a festive parade featuring brass bands and festival mascots and culminated with a fireworks display over the Mississippi River following the performance by the one and only Irma Thomas, Soul Queen of New Orleans.

GEAUXING GREEN In 2021

French Quarter Festivals, Inc. launched the Geauxing Green Program, an all-encompassing sustainability initiative that impacts nearly every aspect of annual festival operations. Developed from the understanding that much of the waste generated from live events could be better diverted into organic or recyclable waste streams, Geauxing Green works to lessen the impact of waste on Louisiana’s environment and waterways. Public education/messaging, additional sanitation requirements, and participation from food vendors and the public makes this growing program a first of its kind in the state. In partnership with Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTENP), Geauxing Green is poised to change the standard for sustainability at festivals and events statewide.

OUR GOAL

OUR COMMITMENT

Protect Southeast Louisiana’s waterways, by reducing the amount of festival waste destined for landfills by 80%

All single-use products at Festival are either Recyclable or Compostable. “Sanitation Stations” offer composting and recycling available throughout our Festival grounds.
