All about New Orleans

Welcome to the New New Orleans!

Otherwise known as the Crescent City, or The Big Easy, it's the city we’re Proud to call Home!

From the shores of Lake Pontchartrain to the banks of the Mississippi River, from filé gumbo to café au lait, from French Quarter high life to Garden District tranquility, New Orleans is a city like no other on earth!

Life in New Orleans continues to offer a variety of experiences and opportunities to enjoy a diverse culture filled with festivals, music, art, theatre, and sports. Also, let’s not forget the delicious cuisine found in no other city but New Orleans!

Whether you want to enjoy the Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, the many French Quarter Festivals, or the numerous other festivals around town – New Orleans is the place to be!

New Orleans – one of the great Music capitals! From the House of Blues to Tipitina’s, or if your senses take you to Snug Harbor– there is a style and rhythm for everyone! And don’t be surprised to find some of Tulane’s own very talented residents performing musically around town!
