Join us as we celebrate Independence Day at beautiful Lafreniere Park in Metairie at Uncle Sam Jam! Each year, festival-goers look forward to live music, delicious local food, great company and FIREWORKS!
Uncle Sam Jam is a FREE festival featuring top local and national acts and a fireworks show to close out the night. The concert meadow and its sprawling 155-acre green space is an ideal setting to celebrate the July 4th holiday.
Grab your lawn chairs and blankets and help us celebrate 31 years! Uncle Sam Jam brings a lineup of exciting performances to the Concert Meadow at Lafreniere Park.
No 4th of July celebration is complete without a big finish. The fireworks show, lighting up the Metairie sky with bursts of color and patriotic spirit will take place after the headliner finishes their set. (approximate 9:00pm)
