The second weekend of the New Orleans Jazz Fest gets underway with Locals Thursday this week.

Thousands of people flocked to the Fair Grounds for the first weekend.

Jazz Fest officials say they won't know the exact attendance until after the festival ends.

One social media topic is the long lines last Friday, possibly made worse by the decision to go cashless.

Louisiana residents can buy a $50 ticket for "Locals Day" on Thursday online at nojazzfest.com starting at Noon Tuesday through 11 p.m. on Wednesday, and also at the gate day-of with valid ID.
