NOAI: Arts & Ideas Festival returns to the New Orleans Jazz Museum November 11-13, 2026, for three days exploring this year’s theme, Arts & Ideas. Highlights include fireside chats with New Orleans City Council President JP Morrell and a panel of Louisiana education leaders on the future of schools; hands-on workshops in letterpress printing, e-bike conversation, tai chi, and even clowning; and a full Friday business track featuring local entrepreneurs and investors. The festival closes out each evening with only-in-New Orleans flourishes - a secondline parade, tarot readings, and a Secret Friday the 13th afterparty. Organized by the 11:11 Philosophers Group, NOAI has hosted 155+ talks and directed more than $333,000 to local causes since 2023. Tickets are $55; full schedule and registration at fest.philosophers.group.
