Things To Do
The Garden District
This will be the main area for the Wedding and St Patrick's Parade Day festivities. The Garden District is a neighborhood of New Orleans known for its historic architecture, lush gardens, and tree-lined streets. The district features beautifully preserved antebellum mansions, often surrounded by ornate ironwork fences. It's a popular destination known for its charming Southern atmosphere and unique blend of cultural influences.
Frenchmen Street
Frenchmen Street is vibrant and eclectic, renowned for its live music scene, local art, and lively atmosphere. Unlike the bustling energy of Bourbon Street, Frenchmen Street offers a more authentic, laid-back experience that caters to music enthusiasts, artists, and those seeking a more intimate taste of the city's culture.
