Celebrate Mardi Gras in the heart of New Orleans at BUKU Music & Art Project this March 13 and 14. The two-day festival will feature a unique array of visual art installations, dozens of pop-up street performers, and local food & beverage vendors.

Staged within the heart of the Warehouse District in downtown New Orleans and against a unique post-industrial backdrop, BUKU boasts a setting perfectly suited for the festival’s fusion of relevant EDM, hip-hop, and indie rock. Described as “a quirky boutique event that delivers a big festival punch without compromising its house-party vibe,” BUKU sits at the intersection of pop culture, rich New Orleans traditions and progressive underground street culture, and has become a reflection of the creative, youthful movement that is fueling the new New Orleans.

In addition the BUKU Music & Art Project will gather many of the most buzzed about musicians from around the globe:
