Fall Travel in New Orleans

Festivals, frights and plenty of food are the makings of fall in NOLA

In other places, pumpkin patches and apple orchards might suffice for fall feels, but not in New Orleans. Our autumns are filled with seasonal celebrations and cultural events, hot bowls of seafood gumbo, crispy fried chicken, and over-stuffed po-boys, and the weather is the perfect mix of chilly and mild.

There’s no better way to bridge the gap between summer and winter than with a fall getaway to New Orleans. So what are you waiting for?
