2017 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Photos
During the final week of the
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, concertgoers went from getting their NOLA bounce on, to nostalgic moments with a music legend.
The final leg of the nearly 50-year festival brought out acts ranging from Trombone Shorty to New Orleans bounce superstar
Big Freedia whose set included acrobatic twerking from a denim-clad dance troupe, and audience members hand-picked from the crowd to join the Queen Diva on stage.

Saturday's headliner
Stevie Wonder, who had a two-hour set, spoke freely on politics and Donald Trump who he deemed "No. 45."
After encouraging the President to "unite the nation", Stevie shut down rumors that
he's getting married for a third time telling the crowd that he'd "let them know" if he was.
He also DJed and played tribute sets to legends we lost including Prince and Earth Wind and Fire's Maurice White.
