About The Festival
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
One of the greatest gatherings of music, food, and culture on earth — and one of the most logistically demanding events in North America.

Fair Grounds Race Course
New Orleans, Louisiana
First Weekend of May
Chill Out Rentals is Ready for Jazz Fest
We already serve the greater New Orleans area and are actively taking reservations from food vendors, craft vendors, hospitality operators, and event staff for Jazz Fest 2026. Book early — festival units fill up fast.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival draws hundreds of artists across multiple stages, celebrating jazz, blues, gospel, R&B, and the full spectrum of Louisiana’s musical soul — produced by the Jazz & Heritage Foundation.
Jazz Fest consistently draws hundreds of thousands of attendees across its two weekends — one of the highest-attended outdoor festivals in the United States and a premier market for vendors.
Gumbo, crawfish étouffée, cochon de lait — Jazz Fest food is as famous as its music. Every food vendor booth depends on reliable cold storage to succeed.
A nonprofit dedicated to preserving Louisiana’s cultural legacy. The Foundation organizes the festival and supports music education and community programs year-round.
1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119. Chill Out Rentals delivers directly to this venue with full setup and on-call support throughout the festival run.
The Cold Storage Challenge
Jazz Fest Creates Massive Cold Storage Demand
Running out of cold storage at a festival isn’t just inconvenient — it means lost revenue, food safety violations, and disappointed customers. Chill Out Rentals ensures you never face that problem.
100s
Jazz Fest hosts food vendors, craft booths, the Congo Square African Marketplace, Louisiana Marketplace, and more — all requiring on-site temperature management.
2 WKS
Two full weekends of operation means your cold storage must be reliable and consistent. One unit failure can cost thousands in spoiled product.
90°F+
New Orleans in late April averages highs in the upper 80s–low 90s°F with high humidity — one of the most demanding environments for food safety in North America.
0°F
Our freezer trailer units reach 0°F, keeping ice cream, frozen proteins, and sensitive products safely frozen even during peak New Orleans heat.
34°F
Our refrigerated cooler trailers maintain temps as low as 34°F — FDA-compliant cold-holding for seafood, produce, dairy, beverages, and all perishable goods.
24/7
Around-the-clock customer support. We can dispatch service technicians to the Fair Grounds during the festival if you encounter any issues.
Why Choose Us
The Chill Out Rentals Difference
We’re not a general equipment rental company that happens to have a refrigerated unit. Cold storage is all we do — built entirely around making it seamless for events and festivals.
We work with major festivals, outdoor events, hospitality companies, and large-scale gatherings across North America. We understand festival logistics — from site constraints to load-in timing — and we work around your schedule.
We handle everything: delivery to the Fair Grounds, positioning, connection, startup, and pickup after the festival wraps. You focus on your booth — we handle the cold chain.
From a compact CHILL 6 cooler trailer for a small craft booth to a full CHILL 53 refrigerated container for a large food operation — units scaled to every need and budget.
Need to keep crawfish fresh? Cooler trailers. Need to store ice cream through two weekends of Louisiana heat? Dedicated freezer units that hold 0°F in any outdoor environment.
Every unit in our fleet is regularly serviced, inspected, and cleaned before dispatch. We don’t send out old or unreliable equipment to your most important sales weekend of the year.
New Orleans and Louisiana are an active part of our service territory. Faster response times, local logistics knowledge, and real accountability — not a call centre thousands of miles away.
