Experience a New Orleans festival, second only to the world-famous Mardi Gras celebration. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival offers two weekends of live music, food, art and more. Don't let the word "jazz" in the title fool you. The festival is a celebration of all genres, welcoming artists like Willie Nelson, Al Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bon Jovi, Lauryn Hill, Jimmy Buffet and many more.
It's every man for himself! Hit the fields and take cover during recreational warfare at the Paintball Command paintball field. Bring your super stealthy hiding skills to make sure you're the last one standing. Don't worry about bringing ammo, you'll have to stock up with the paintballs available at the facility.
Visit the birthplace of the Hurricane cocktail and the number one alcohol-distributing establishment in the United States at Pat O'Brien's New Orleans. The bar has been a Crescent City institution since 1933 and continues to be one of the most visited attractions in the French Quarter. Be sure to check out the "dueling" pianos while you're sipping on that Hurricane.
Relax and have a picnic at dusk at The Fly a strip of park along the riverside of Audubon Park and watch the sunset over the Mississippi River.
