The Latest: 2nd soggy day at Jazz Fest ends some acts early
A day after thunderstorms forced the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival to close early, another downpour turned parts of the Fair Grounds Race Track into a swimming pool for geese and forced opening acts on main stages to end their sets early.
Festival spokesman Matthew Goldman said The New Leviathan Oriental Fox-Trot Orchestra, the Young Guardians of the Flame Mardi Gras Indians and other acts under big tents were able to keep performing Sunday.
Other acts Sunday include jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis; the Isley Brothers; gospel singer Mavis Staples; and Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, who close out the day.
