New Orleans is no stranger to music, that’s for sure. From Jazz to Zydeco, you’re never too far from a live performance here in New Orleans. That’s something that’s so special about this city — the ability to hear live music just about any time of the day. But what about creating your own? Well, if you head down to the Bywater area, you’ll find a whimsical village that’s perfect for just that.

The Music Box Village was created and built by New Orleans Airlift, a nonprofit arts organization.
