NewOrleans.com 2 THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL HOLIDAYS NEW ORLEANS STYLE Dear Friends, It is my absolute pleasure as the Mayor of the City of New Orleans to welcome you to the 2019 “Holidays New Orleans Style,” a month-long holiday celebration of all things New Orleans including live, local music; world-famous cuisine; special shopping experiences; and uniquely New Orleans traditions. Holidays New Orleans Style is one of our City’s signature events, with something for everyone. Renowned artists perform free concerts at historic St. Louis Cathedral and St. Augustine Church; Celebration in the Oaks fills City Park with joy and laughter; NOLA ChristmasFest delights with ice skating and family fun; and candlelight caroling in Jackson Square brings the community together. There is rarely a “Silent Night” in New Orleans. Follow the trumpet music to Bourbon, Frenchmen and Fulton streets for authentic New Orleans music. Celebrate the New Year with us, and stay to watch the Sugar Bowl at the Superdome. As you celebrate the holiday season with your family, neighbors and friends, remember all that we have accomplished and are grateful for and use that to fuel you as we continue to move forward in 2020. To you and your loved ones, I wish you a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year. The energy of our city and her people is unmatched and the culture unparalleled. We invite you to experience every moment of it.
