During your New Orleans Holiday, you will not find a place that is more steeped in history any where else in the deep south of the USA. Here history hangs heavy in the air, seeps through the pores of the buildings, and lives on in the psyche of the people. Indeed, we can safely say, you won’t find a city that takes fun and merriment more seriously than New Orleans.
Anytime is party time in New Orleans and nightlife runs round the clock. If the local folks are not dressed for Mardi Gras, then they are singing along to the tunes of jazz or dancing to the beats of hip-hop at the Jazz and Heritage Festival. If there is no parade or live music event underway, then the city folks simply head out and dance on the sidewalk to the music belted out by the street performers. The people of New Orleans not only know how to enjoy life, they do so to the accompaniment of music. After all, it is the land of the jazz.
