... to come to New Orleans and celebrate the holidays in style!
Everyone knows that New Orleans is the place to be for any holiday, whether it's Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, or Halloween. Why would Christmas and New Year's be any different? Come revel in the holiday spirit in the city that blows any party out of the water!
You know there are always some premium events to check out. Here are just a few:
From now until December 21st, hop the streetcar and head uptown to Loyola University to check out an adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale A Christmas Carol. It is full of everything you could ask for: ghosts, major life lessons, music and dancing. Being performed at the Marquette Theater, it is a show for everyone to enjoy!
Also on December 21st, Jackson Square will ring in song for a special New Orleans tradition. Caroling in Jackson Square occurs every year on the Sunday before Christmas. Bring the family and stand with neighbors to sing classic holiday carols by candlelight, while looking at the majestic St. Louis Cathedral.
Ever hear of the popular singing trio The Victory Belles? Head over to the National World War II Museum now through December 28th to hear their wonderful voices spreading holiday cheer. They will serenade you with your favorite holiday classics and you may even get to see some amazing special gusts. Family fun at its finest.
What are you doing on Christmas Eve? Ever considered taking a steamboat ride on the Mississippi River? If not, consider making reservations for Christmas Eve on the Riverboat Natchez. This ride includes a buffet to die for, drinks, and a traditional Jazz trio. There really is no better way to ring in the holiday.
Which is probably why they do another similar event on New Year's Eve. You read right! If you can't make it for Christmas Eve, take the Riverboat Natchez out and enjoy holiday spirits with friends and family while celebrating the New Year. It is a beautiful event, and a great way to see the fireworks!
What is any party without fireworks? Of course you should go to the French Quarter on New Year's Eve to watch the ball drop and see the amazing fireworks display. But do you want to be standing in the crowds on the streets? Or would you want to be cruising the Mississippi in style? That's right! There is a New Year's Eve Fireworks Cruise on the New Orleans Creole Queen. Get a front row seat to all things New Year's.
Another option is to get all dolled up with the one you love and head over to the Riverview Room for the swanky soiree you dreamed of. Enjoy an evening filled with good food, great music and an open bar. Reserve your spot now to be in the perfect place to watch the ball drop and get that New Year's kiss!
These are just some of the events that are going on in the city. But don't just take my word for it, come and check things out for yourself! And have a very happy holiday from the Maison de Ville!
