Many of New Orleans’ finest restaurants at elegant Reveillon dinners, feature four and five course prix fixe menus. Look for special holiday favorites and many luscious masterpieces to choose from in restaurants dotting our city.
Start the season off right by finding the perfect gifts for family and friends – you might even find a little something for yourself too! Christmas Shopping in New Orleans is an absolute treat! From the elegance of Royal Street to the fun and funkiness of Magazine Street and the Arts District, there’s something to please even the fussiest person on your gift list.
Tour magnificent Celebration in the Oaks at City Park, a festive display of nearly two million lights decorating one-hundred-year-old oak trees. Ride a horse-drawn carriage through the park or travel by foot or car. Don’t miss this dazzling display!
If you’re not confident in your singing voice, then stop by St. Louis Cathedral for one of their Christmas concerts. Free concerts are held in historic St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the U.S. Some of this city’s legendary musicians perform nightly to large and mesmerized audiences. On any given night, you might hear Chris Thomas King or local folk rocker Theresa Andersson and many more. The dates and performers change every year, so make sure you check the schedule before heading out the door.
