Wednesday, Preservation Hall hosted “Pres Fest” in honor of its landmark 50th anniversary. The venerable jazz venue has been celebrating the half-century mark all year with an art exhibition, new album, and more. The party featured a crawfish boil and performances by the Treme Brass Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
