gumballz Posted May 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Can anyone tell me when New Orleans decorates for the Christmas holiday season? Will lights/decorations be up the first week in December? We've been to NOLA pretty much every time of the year, except December. We've heard how beautiful the city is when it's all decorated and we're hoping to experience it. I've searched the boards, and Google, but cannot find the answer. Thanks for your help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieanne Posted May 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The best lights I've found are at Celebration in the Oaks, a festival of lights out in City Park is open from after Thanksgiving until New Year's. (There is a charge for admission.) More information can be found here: http://holiday.neworleansonline.com and there will be more added as Christmas nears. If you have time, I would definitely recommend booking a Reveillon Dinner at one of the classic New Orleans restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted May 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Noting is posted there yet, but as Christmas nears look at: http://www.fqfi.org Under Christmas In New Orleans, you will find a schedule of concerts, lightings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mitsugirly Posted May 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We have cruised out of NOLA twice during the month of December and always a bunch of Christmas decorations everywhere from the street to the parks to all of the hotels with huge trees and lights. This area (across from the casino) has many things going on from reindeer there to visits with Santa, activities and crafts and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted May 12, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2015 They also have an event called "running with the Santa's" and everyone you can think of is dressed up at Santa and doing a run in the streets. It's one big Santa party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
