Sweet Sounds

Concert Series on The Northshore.

FROM FREE OUTDOOR COMMUNITY CONCERTS at Heritage Park in Slidell or the trailhead amphitheaters in Mandeville and Covington to the seasonal concert series held at the Dew Drop Jazz Hall, Abita Opry, The Harbor Center and Wild Bush Farm & Vineyard, the musical offerings of The Northshore are plentiful, each with its own vibe to resonate with your own.

Believed to be the oldest virtually unaltered rural jazz hall in the world, the Dew Drop Jazz Hall in Mandeville is a must-do experience for both artists and audiences. Inside the 1895 structure, it’s the hushed vibe of a listening room, while outside on the lawn, concertgoers set up lawn chairs to listen to music peal through the open shutters as they chat with friends. Visitors to the Abita Springs Opry appreciate the preservation of Louisiana “roots” music, as well as acoustic country, bluegrass, zydeco and more in a quintessentially Southern Town Hall experience. Meanwhile in Slidell, The Harbor Center transforms its convention center lobby into an intimate, bohemian listening room for the Lobby Lounge concert series.

With so many options to suit your taste in music and atmosphere, you’ll want to mark your calendar all season long, so you don’t miss a thing.
