About Louis Armstrong’s Wonderful World
Down the road from Louis Armstrong’s home and at the site of the World’s Fair, Queens now has a festival worthy of Louis’ immense cultural legacy and the Wonderful World he celebrated in his music. Hosted by Kupferberg Center for the Arts, the Wonderful World Festival has welcomed music legends that are influenced by Satchmo’s lasting music, and this year is no different. This year’s line-up includes Queens-born rapper and gourmet chef Action Bronson and New Orleans’ eight-piece brass ensemble The Soul Rebels.
