Swing in the Oaks is a beloved New Orleans tradition that brings the magic of live orchestral music to the heart of City Park. Each spring, more than 5,000 audience members gather under the oaks to enjoy a free, family-friendly concert performed by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. This special evening also features 125 talented student musicians from our LPO Academy playing side by side with LPO professionals, creating an inspiring and unforgettable experience. Pack a picnic, bring your lawn chairs, and join us for a night of beautiful music beneath the stars! Rain date is April 28, 2026.
