Annual Spring Fiesta and Historic Home Tour

71st Annual Spring Fiesta and Historic Home Tour

March 24th & 25th - March 30th to April 1st

There are gorgeous homes and buildings every where you look in NOLA. While admiring them from the outside, I know we all wonder what they are like inside. Now is your chance to see & enjoy the interior of these elegant, famous homes in the Garden District, French Quarter & Uptown.Twenty homes, which are not usually open to the public, will be part of the tour this year. Along with the home tours, the Spring Fiesta also includes brunch at Commander's Palace and a "Night in Old New Orleans" parade.

Vintage Postcard of the French Market

All of our family & friends know that we have a weakness for postcards. :) We send a ton of them from every place we visit. It lets people know that we are thinking of them even when we are far away.

We really like vintage postcards too! This one is of the amazing French Market in New Orleans (on Decatur). It is a wonderful place to shop. Many hours of our time have been spent happily browsing there. Instead of buying all of our souvenirs at the stores that line Bourbon Street, we like to get them at the flea market. They are unique & the price is right. ha! You can also find fresh produce, hot sauce, pralines, etc. Most of the vendors are locals just trying to make a living. We encourage you to support them. :)

Tennessee Williams Literary Festival

The 21st Annual Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival will be March 28th to April 1st. Many well known writers, editors, publishers & agents will offer their expertise. You can enjoy classes, performances of Williams' one act plays, literary walking tours, readings, fundraiser for Martin Luther King Jr. School Library and so much more! Since food rules our life, we were especially happy to hear that two famous NOLA chefs, Leah Chase & John Besh, will share stories & cooking tips. Start practicing now to join the other contestants gathering in the French Quarter to see who has the best imitation of Stanley screaming "STELLA!" from the famous play/movie "A Streetcar Named Desire."

Buy individual tickets for certain classes, plays, etc. Or, purchase an all access pass. Several venues will be used to accomodate the wide range of activities.
