When and where is the Festival?

Tennessee Williams was born on March 26, 1911, and we host the Festival on the weekend closest to Tennessee’s birthday and avoid scheduling on Easter Sunday, as Easter is a major holiday in New Orleans with multiple events and parades in the French Quarter.

Here are a few of our upcoming Festival dates: March 26 – 30, 2025; March 25 – 29, 2026; March 17 – 21, 2027. 

The Festival is held at various locations in the inimitable French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. Most locations are within easy walking distance of one another.  Other events are held in various parts of the city, easily accessible by car, streetcar, or city bus.
