The 37th annual "Holidays New Orleans Style" is back and in person this year! Presented by French Quarter Festivals, Inc., this season's events include free concerts, réveillon dinners, cooking demonstrations, local shopping, and more. The festivities began November 10 with the decoration of Jackson Square and continue through Twelfth Night, January 6, 2022, when the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc parades through the French Quarter.
This year's free concerts are taking place at the St. Louis Cathedral (Jackson Square) and St. Anna's Episcopal Church (1313 Esplanade Ave.). While historically held at St. Louis Cathedral and St. Augustine Church, St. Anna's is stepping in as St. Augustine undergoes repairs following damage sustained during Hurricane Ida.
