Mother’s Day in New Orleans does not have to stop at brunch! Treat Mom to a relaxing spa day with a facial, massage, or specialty package at local favorites like NOLA Organic Spa, Woodhouse Day Spa, or one of the city’s hotel spas, including the spa at Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans.

For moms who love to shop, plan an afternoon along Magazine Street, Royal Street, Canal Place, or the Riverwalk, where you can browse everything from clothing and jewelry to art, candles, and locally made gifts. If she would rather spend the day outside, pack a picnic and head to City Park, Audubon Park, or another scenic spot around town. Since Mother’s Day falls during crawfish season, you can even make the day feel extra local with boiled seafood or a casual outdoor feast!
