Celebration in the Oaks
Thousands of people follow the lights to New Orleans City Park every year for Celebration in the Oaks, a beloved month-long light show. Hop a miniature train and ride through the park which has been transformed into a magical winter wonderland by hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights. Don’t miss the “Cajun Night Before Christmas,” the “Who Dat Tree,” Mr. Bingle, a snowman loved by generations of New Orleanians and more.
Audubon Zoo Lights
New Orleans is wild about Audubon Zoo Lights. Come see light displays and silk-lightened replicas of animals all around the zoo. Enjoy holiday story time, arts and crafts, caroling and more. Drive, Uber or take the Magazine Street bus from Canal Street.
Luna Fête
Come celebrate the Tricentennial of New Orleans at Luna Fête in Lafayette Square, just a short walk or streetcar ride from the French Quarter through the CBD. Every year, Gallier Hall is transformed with amazing video projection-mapping. You won’t want to miss it.
