Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in New Orleans
Fall
Late winter–spring (Mardi Gras, Jazz & Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival) — highest prices and crowds.
Summer (June–August) and early winter (mid-December excluding holidays) — lower hotel rates but tradeoffs include heat/humidity and some event-driven spikes.
March–May: Temperatures are warm without the full summer humidity. This period includes major festivals such as Jazz & Heritage Festival (late April–early May) and French Quarter Festival (April). Mardi Gras often falls in late winter or early spring (February–March) and will affect crowd levels and prices when it occurs in March.
The city's most famous celebration featuring parades, krewes, floats, music, and street parties. Date varies each year (February or March).
Late April–early May festival celebrating jazz, blues, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, and more. A mix of local and international performers across multiple stages.
April festival focused on local music, food, and culture across the French Quarter.
Large music and culture festival held in July focused on African American music, culture, and empowerment.
Late October music festival in City Park with a mix of mainstream and indie acts, immersive art, and food.
A long weekend celebration in early September centered on LGBTQ+ culture, parties, and parades in the French Quarter and surrounding areas.
Expect hot, humid summers with frequent afternoon storms; spring and fall offer the most comfortable conditions. Hurricane season runs June–November; buy travel insurance if traveling during those months. Pack light breathable clothing, a rain jacket or compact umbrella, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent for warmer months. Layers work well for winter mornings and cooler evenings.
New Orleans has strong seasonality tied to festivals and holidays. Hotel and flight prices spike highest around Mardi Gras (late winter/early spring) and during Jazz & Heritage Festival and French Quarter Festival in spring. Major events such as Essence Festival, Voodoo Fest, and large conventions also drive rates up. The most expensive periods are late winter through spring when demand from festival-goers is highest. Value windows are typically late summer (June–early September) excluding holiday weekends, when heat and hurricane risk reduce leisure travel, and early winter (mid-December excluding the Christmas/New Year week) when demand is lower. Booking 2–4 months ahead for routine travel is usually enough; for Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, book 6–12 months ahead. Consider bundled packages or neighborhood hotels outside the French Quarter for savings.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Getting around New Orleans is easy by a combination of walking, streetcar, rideshare, taxi, and buses; driving is optional and parking in the French Quarter can be expensive.
If you want live music without the highest hotel rates, stay in the Marigny or Bywater neighborhoods and take a short ride to the French Quarter at night. For festival travel (Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Essence), purchase tickets and book lodging as early as possible and consider travel insurance that covers weather-related disruptions.
