Kicking off Culture Around the Corner are the Ocean Avenue Stompers, and they don’t just perform – they parade. From the first trumpet trill to the last rimshot, they throw a party full of infectious joy and the spirit of “Laissez les bons temps rouler.” Channeling the celebratory, high-energy sound of Bourbon Street, the Stompers are a powerhouse that blends the soul of New Orleans brass, the rock \’n’ roll of Asbury Park, and the groove of funk, jazz, and R&B into one explosive sound. Join as they kick off the celebration in true New Orleans fashion – with a second line.
