What are fun activities to do in New Orleans?


Answer: New Orleans is an exciting place to visit. Many people go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras parades, with creative floats and beads thrown to onlookers, but this event is just once a year. No matter what time of year you go, make time to appreciate some live music. Jazz and blues are standouts around Frenchman street. The food and beverage scene is also quite compelling, with classics like red beans and rice, fried chicken, delicious seafood, and beignets. Two weekends in the spring combine the music and the food in a giant festival called Jazz Fest, with many stages and vendors spread out for an open-air celebration of the best the city has to offer. There are also comprehensive culture and history museums, including the famous World War 2 museum, because the boats used to storm the beaches at Normandy were inspired by watercraft common to Louisiana.
