Built in 1895, the Dew Drop Jazz Hall, on Lamarque Street in Old Mandeville, is one of the oldest, unaltered rural jazz halls in the U.S. In 2006, the Friends of the Dew Drop, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, was formed to schedule and manage the hall’s performances and educational activities (JazzKids). Since 2015, the Friends of the Dew Drop have presented 53 free music assemblies and master classes to schools in St. Tammany Parish, reaching over 12,000 local students in grades PreK-12.
The mission of the Friends of the Dew Drop is to preserve the Dew Drop Jazz Hall and promote its significance in the origins and the cultural history of Mandeville though music performances, music education programs and benevolent activities in support of local, emerging artists.
