COMING THIS WEEK !!!
By Karen Brem, Marketing Director, Historic Mardi Gras Inn
December in New Orleans is not a “stay in and sip cocoa” kind of vibe — it’s a music-filled, cocktail-shaking, streetcar-riding holiday playground 🎷🍹. If you’re planning a December trip, one event anchors the week perfectly: Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve”, taking over the Smoothie King Center on Wednesday, December 17.
And if you’re coming for the show, the smartest move is turning it into a multi-night New Orleans stay, because the city delivers far more than a single evening of entertainment.
✨🎶 A Must-See Holiday Concert in New Orleans
Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s The Ghosts of Christmas Eve blends rock, orchestral music, theatrical storytelling, and dazzling stage lighting 💡🎻. It’s one of the most anticipated holiday concerts in New Orleans, drawing visitors who want a festive night out that still feels bold, dramatic, and unforgettable.
The Smoothie King Center is easily accessible by streetcar 🚋 — and in December, those streetcars are fully decorated for the holidays, making the ride part of the experience.
🎄🍸 December Events That Make It Worth Staying Longer
Once the concert ends, the city is just getting started 😏. December is one of the best times to visit New Orleans, especially if you enjoy adult fun, live music, and festive nightlife.
While you’re here, you can enjoy:
- 🎄 Holiday-decorated French Quarter streets and balconies
- 🍹 Seasonal pop-up bars and cocktail menus
- 🎷 Live music every night on Frenchmen Street
- 👻 Holiday ghost tours with a festive twist
- 🍽 Late-night dining and classic New Orleans comfort food
This is not a “sleep-and-leave” destination — it’s a city built for wandering, music hopping, and saying yes to one more stop.
🚶♀️📍 Stay Where You Can Walk to the Fun
When you stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, location does the heavy lifting. Our guests love that they can:
- Walk to all the adult fun in the French Quarter
- Reach a streetcar stop just a 2-minute walk from our front door
- Get to events all over the city without driving or parking stress
After a concert, cocktails, or a ghost tour, being able to walk home is a holiday gift in itself 🎁😉.
🛏🎄 Turn One Night Into a Holiday Escape
Instead of rushing in and out for a single show, a several-night stay lets you experience December in New Orleans the way it’s meant to be enjoyed:
- 🎶 Concert night + recovery brunch
- 🍹 Multiple nights of holiday bar hopping
- 🎷 Live music without checking the clock
- 😴 Sleeping in, because vacation rules apply
December is peak season for atmosphere — lights, music, and that unmistakable New Orleans energy.
