November 28, 2011 – 6:02 pm

Christmas New Orleans Style is like no other Christmas in the country! This month long celebration will certainly put you in the holiday mood, as you are transported back in time by costumed characters roaming the Vieux Carre. Celebrate with the Krewe of Jingle holiday parade and the Jingle Mingle Block Part on Canal Street.

New Orleans restaurants will again be hosting Reveillion Dinners, partaking in historic traditions at three NO restaurants which are over 100 years old- Tujague’s, Commander’s Palace, and Galatoire’s.

The 200 year old St. Louis Cathedral will present weekly concerts, featuring choirs, brass bands, Jazz quartets and other musical delights.

Make sure to book your rooms at 1896 O’Malley House so that you don’t miss out on any of the festivities.

Oak Street was designated a National Main Street by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2006, additionally, the street was declared a Louisiana Main Street by the state Department of Historic Preservation.
