We Belong Here is officially expanding to New Orleans for the first time this November 13-15 at Woldenberg Riverfront Park along the Mississippi River.

Given New Orleans’ incredible musical legacy, the community-driven festival brand is bringing a large-scale dance music experience back to the city in a meaningful way, blending globally touring electronic artists with local culture, food, art, and community partnerships.

Set along the Mississippi River with views of the French Quarter, Woldenberg Riverfront Park offers a striking backdrop for the festival’s signature open-air experience. While New Orleans has long been one of the world’s great music cities, large-scale dance music experiences have been notably absent in recent years, creating an opportunity for a new kind of festival to emerge on the riverfront.

“New Orleans is not only a musical epicenter, it’s a true cultural melting pot and a highly requested city from our community, all of which makes it a perfect home for a new We Belong Here experience,” said Justin Dauman, Co-Founder of We Belong Here. “Its heritage as the birthplace of Jazz is interconnected with playing a massive role in popularizing house and rave culture in the South. We’re excited to create a new experience that bridges local and global dance music culture together to reconnect with that legacy.“

Since its founding in Miami in 2021, We Belong Here has brought boutique festival experiences to different unique locations throughout New York and Florida. More than a lineup-driven event, We Belong Here has built its reputation around the overall experience, combining music, setting, design, and community into weekends that audiences return to year after year.
