Artillery Park (Washington Artillery Park)

Outdoor Venues

Artillery Park is located between Jackson Square and the Mississippi River, in the heart of the French Quarter. It's a popular place for tourists, as it offers a great vantage for photos of both. While it can be busy and noisy on the weekends, it’s great for small ceremonies, and the Cathedral as a backdrop lends it a storybook look. Passing carriages, streetcars and paddle-wheel boats offer additional charm. Centrally located and walking distance from many hotels, you can hop in a carriage for a romantic, post-wedding ride to your reception or celebration dinner.
