Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in New Orleans
Spring
Spring (March–April) around Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest; also holiday weekends and major festivals.
Late Summer (July–early September) and early Winter (December, excluding holidays) when hotel rates tend to be lower.
March–May: Expect warm, pleasant days and a festival-packed calendar. Mardi Gras often falls in late February or March; French Quarter Fest and Jazz & Heritage Festival typically occur in April–May.
The city’s largest celebration featuring parades, floats, masked krewes, and street parties. Dates vary each year (late winter/early spring).
A multi-day celebration of music and Louisiana culture held in late April–early May featuring local and international artists.
A major music and culture festival in July celebrating African American music, empowerment, and business.
A free spring festival focused on local music and food in the historic French Quarter, typically in April.
An autumn music festival (usually October) with national and regional performers, set in City Park.
Annual college football rivalry and cultural weekend in November featuring tailgates, a parade, and a major football game.
Expect hot, humid summers with frequent thunderstorms and a distinct hurricane season from June–November—monitor forecasts and consider travel insurance during those months. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm weather, a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella year-round, sunscreen and hat for sun protection, and a few warmer layers for cooler winter evenings. Bring insect repellent for swamp tours and evenings near water. Stay hydrated when walking around; many attractions are outdoors.
New Orleans has pronounced price spikes tied to major events and festival weekends. Hotel rates and short-term rentals surge for Mardi Gras, Jazz & Heritage Festival, Essence Festival, Halloween/ Voodoo, and New Year's Eve. Spring (particularly March–April) is the highest-priced period overall due to Mardi Gras (when it falls in late winter/early spring) and Jazz Fest: book 3–6+ months ahead for the best availability. Late summer (July–early September) and early winter (December, excluding holidays) often offer the best value, though specific events (Essence in July, Saints games, conventions) can create micro-peaks. Expect weekday vs weekend splits, and higher rates in the French Quarter and Central Business District vs more affordable neighborhoods like Mid-City or Bywater. Consider flexible dates, stay slightly outside the Quarter, or use public transit (streetcar) to reduce lodging costs. Travel insurance and flexible cancellation are recommended during hurricane season (June–November).
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
New Orleans is compact and walkable in tourist neighborhoods; a mix of streetcars, buses, rideshares, and taxis connect the city. The airport is Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY) located outside the city.
Plan around major events—if attending Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest, reserve lodging and festival tickets many months in advance and expect higher costs. Use the streetcar for neighborhood hops (St. Charles for Garden District, Canal for Riverfront), take a morning swamp tour to avoid heat and bugs, and leave room in your itinerary for live music: much of the city’s charm happens spontaneously in bars, clubs, and on street corners.
