There are many jazz festivals the whole world over, but only one in the city that birthed it.
With the city's 300-year-plus history, how did we get here? What transpired in those years, and who were the people who shaped the history of this amazing melting pot of a neighborhood? Let's go over the complex history of the French Quarter.
For four days (April 21-24), a big chunk of the French Quarter will be transformed into a series of festival stages.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering New Orleans’ deep Irish heritage, that the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day (Sunday, March 17, 2024) is one of the biggest parade and party times in the city.
With March upon us, expect a good slate of early-spring activities in the Crescent City.
The French Quarter is the heart of New Orleans and a testament to its colorful past, where cultures, music, cuisines, and history create an irresistible tapestry that is pure magic, with a dash of 'round the clock joie de vivre. And what better way to explore this one-of-a-kind place and one of the oldest neighborhoods in the U.S. than to stay right in the middle of the action?
