In a city famous for music,

the streets of the French Quarter are swinging every night of the week.  No matter your age or interest, there is music for every ear wafting out of historic districts clubs and restaurants.  In the birthplace of jazz “the beat goes on”.   Its status as a world famous tourist destination is due, in part to its architecture and its annual Mardi Gras and is often called the most unique city in America.  The New Orleans carnival season starts two weeks prior to Shrove Tuesday, locally known as Fat Tuesday and there is at least one parade a day.  The largest and most elaborate parades take place in the last five days of Mardi Gras.  New Orleans has always been a significant centre for music with its intertwined European, Latin American and African-American cultures.
