About Tipitina's

Tipitina's opened in 1977 at the corner of Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street, in a 1912 building that was once a gambling house and gymnasium. Its name comes from "Tipitina," a song by Professor Longhair, who performed here until his death in 1980. Members of the jam band Galactic bought the club in 2018, and its calendar mixes touring bands with local acts. During Jazz Fest it hosts the Fess Jazztival concert series.
