Car Rental at 'New Orleans'

An equally colorful festival is the Madri Gras Carnival, which typically takes place at the end of February or the beginning of March (the date depends on Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of Great Lent). The festival owes its existence to the French who introduced the tradition of celebrating "Fat Tuesday" (this is how the event's name translates). For this reason, the French Quarter becomes the venue (the main actions take place on Bourbon Street). The celebration involves a parade led by the King and Queen of the Carnival who throw out sweets and jewelry made of plastic to the audience, and delighted spectators are happy to catch them all. And all this is accompanied by jazz accompaniment whose sounds can be heard from all over the city.

In early August, with the Satchmo Summer Fest, New Orleans celebrates the birthday of its famous native - Louis Armstrong ( born on August 4). The fest owes its name to the famous trumpeter's nickname. The permanent venue for the event is the New Orleans Mint (currently occupied by the Jazz Museum). At the festival, you can hear not only classical jazz but also modern jazz, as well as the so-called big band. Besides that, children can show all their skills on a separate stage set up especially for young jazzmen. In late April, a no less significant event in the world of jazz - the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival - is traditionally held at Fair Grounds Race Course. Besides jazz, here you can listen to related genres such as Latin, country, rock, blues, funk, soul.
