Caroling in Jackson Square
Few holiday traditions are as simple—or as moving—as Caroling in Jackson Square. Thousands gather with candles in hand to sing Christmas carols beneath the lights of St. Louis Cathedral, creating one of New Orleans’ most cherished holiday evenings.
Why We Recommend It
Some New Orleans traditions are loud and exuberant. This one is quietly beautiful. Standing before St. Louis Cathedral with thousands of voices singing together is one of those moments that reminds you how special the holiday season can be.
