I’m (of course) very excited about Mardi Gras this year, but there’s a whole lot more fun coming up in New Orleans. Mardi Gras lasts until Febrary 16th, but there are other celebrations that will follow. Just to mention a few, there’s the French Quarter Wine Festival, the French Quarter Festival, of course there’s JazzFest (which I always love), and one of my favorite days which is St. Patrick’s Day.
And the ones I mentioned are just within the first few months of the year! That’s one of the great things about living here - New Orleans is a city that constantly has something to celebrate, so there’s always something going on.
These celebrations and other New Orleans upcoming events are what makes life in New Orleans so interesting and what makes other people love our culture.
