New Orleans: Non-Stop Entertainment!
August 04, 2015
The Music and Theatre Scene Only Breaks for Cocktails and Cuisine!
New Orleans’ native son, Louis Armstrong, referred to a quiet time in his 1931 jazz standard, “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South.”
However, such is never the case in New Orleans with a vivid and active social and entertainment scene during this time of year. As for these live performance productions -- all in air-conditioned comfort -- you will have quite a few choices.
New Orleans: Showcase of the Stars
May 04, 2015
New Orleans is not really a show-off kind of town.
The fun here flows quite naturally. We authentically celebrate our heritage, our cultures, our cuisines, our music, our history, and our legendary local characters from every walk of life whom have passed this way.
Yet it is in this season when the town gets the urge to brag and show off just a little bit. We are truly blessed with an embarrassment of riches right now.

Seasonal Showcase!

New Orleans is a community completely capable of performing several complicated but entertaining tasks simultaneously.
At this time of year, while staging the Greatest Free Show on Earth, which is the annual Carnival spectacle, the City can also present a brilliant live theatre season, set a great dinner table at any of a multitude of fine restaurants (more about that later!), host innumerable conventions, and mount a festival line-up that is the envy of cities around the world.

Romance in the Vieux Carre
February 05, 2015
Tucked quaintly in a crescent of the Mississippi River is the French Quarter, a cultural love child of genteel old Europe. This exotic Caribbean community of the sultry South plays host to the most memorable romantic getaways not only in the city, but in the South. Take a bite of the history-rich experience as you stroll arm-in-arm through original cobblestone streets and breathe in the aromas that pass you and disappear among the wrought-iron balconies. There is an intimate old-world charm that radiates romance, and delivers sensuality on a polished, silver platter.

So, it's both Carnival and festival season in New Orleans' French Quarter. Well. Isn't it pretty much, all year 'round?! Sure feels like it: marching bands, street parades, people spilling out of bars and clubs, performers on every corner, and in everyone's hand"... a "geaux" cup!
New Orleans' Showtime... Always in Season!

New Orleans is often associated with hot, humid summer weather, or with a single day of celebration, Mardi Gras.
On both counts, local residents look at their city a little differently. Locals like the season we are in now. It's not really Winter, as defined by most of the rest of the United States. Not really as cold as most places. Definitely not snowing. And big heavy clothes are not a requirement when strolling from one place to another.
