Life Fest 2020 4x3

New Orleans is filled with culture, history, and music. It’s allegedly nicknamed ‘the Big Easy’ for its easy-going style compared to the hustle and bustle of New York according to Southern Living Magazine. The city has a reputation as a haven for jazz and blues musicians due to the sheer number of venues available as well as plenty of parks and public areas in which to perform.

And it’s not just about music – from its streetcar rides to architectural gems with the mighty Mississippi as a backdrop, NOLA is filled with attractions to appeal to everyone.
