In many ways, Jackson Square is the heart of New Orleans. This city square is the epicenter of the French Quarter, which is the famed neighborhood that is notorious for its Mardi Gras celebrations, its beads and its lively atmosphere.

Pretty much the most iconic spot in all of New Orleans. Always something to see around this square. Brass bands, tarot card readers, wedding coming from the church, artist booths all year round....you can stay here for hours people watching and never get bored.
