Though you’ve missed this year’s Jazz Fest, the city’s just gearing up for a batch of fun summer festivals.
From the Beer Drinking Festival and the Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival to the Creole Tomato Festival
and the Satchmo Summerfest, there’s a party for every interest.

Is there any other city in the country that has as many gas lamps per capita as New Orleans? If you
don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s reason enough to come visit. Trust me, New Orleans is for
lovers.

You can explore the best of New Orleans on foot (and it’s a flat city!) or grab a streetcar or city bus
if you get tired. The city has great walking paths along the Mississippi River. Biking is also popular.

Because New Orleans isn’t just about all that jazz…
The city also has an amazing arts scene. Visit
galleries, check out the monthly art market (last Saturday of every month, year-round, in Palmer
Park) or get creative yourself by checking out the glass blowing workshops at New Orleans ArtWorks.
