This city park is dedicated to the famed trumpeter and jazz mc, Louis Armstrong.
A beautiful mix of squares, art, water features and landscaping. It is home, literally to the birthplaspce of all American music. Congo square was the first place people of color could gather in the us, hundreds of years before anywhere else. The musicians of the time would come to the square to play their instruments to the various African beats merging for the dropouts at Congo square. This mix of styles became early jazz, and all American music with the exception of native of course, started there.
