A City Alive with Activity: New Orleans is a Student Travel Must See
Locals and visitors alike came together this New Years Eve to watch the unique Gumbo Pot drop in the heart of the French Quarter. As residential areas are still recovering, New Orleanians left behind 2005 and moved forward to celebrate the rebirth of the city. Residents worked hard to get neighborhoods repaired and all of residents back. Over 800,000 people in the metro area are working together to make New Orleans better than ever, and student travelers have much to enjoy in this eclectic city.
Families from around the country are reuniting for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Mardi Gras parades. Festivals are such a deep cultural tradition in New Orleans and residents will not skip a beat as they prepare for events starting with French Quarter Festival, Jazz & Heritage Festival, and Satchmo Summer Fest.
