New orleans

It may not be Mardi Gras, but New Years Eve in New Orleans is just as memorable. The main event is a thrilling 15 minute fireworks show on the Mississippi River, along with the Fleur de Lis drop, where Baby New Year is dropped from the roof of the Jax Brewery in Jackson Square. Of course the night doesnt end there, as visitors and locals flock to Bourbon Street and the Latin Quarter, where music booms from bars and nightclubs, and the streets remain bustling until the wee hours.
