39TH ANNUAL HOLIDAYS NEW ORLEANS STYLE

Dear Friends, As Mayor of the City of New Orleans, I am excited to welcome in the 2023 Holidays New Orleans Style, a run of signature celebrations that honor the unique culture and traditions of our great city.

Holidays New Orleans Style is an experience like no other that adults and children can be a part of with a bit of fun for everyone. Hosted annually by French Quarter Festivals Inc. and New Orleans & Company, these events are sure to have you return. As we promenade through the French Quarter starting in late November and ending on Twelfth Night, these activities along with our local musicians are sure to make your Jingle Bells Rock.

The energy of our city is unmatched. I encourage you to attend as many events as possible throughout the city including, Santa’s Pajama Party at Restaurant R’evolution, Celebration in the Oaks, taking a sleigh ride through the French Quarter on a horse-drawn carriage, and watching The Nutcracker at the Joy Theatre. Additionally, I implore you to invest in our local small businesses and treat yourself to some of our famous Creole, French, and Spanish Christmas cuisines at local restaurants.

I hope that this season brings you joy, laughter, and some well-needed family time. I also encourage you to stay safe and remember all that we have accomplished this year through perseverance and grit as we move forward into 2024. Lastly, I extend my best wishes for a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

Warm Regards,

RÉVEILLON

AT NEW ORLEANS FINEST RESTAURANTS From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, New Orleans’ Creole families celebrated Réveillon (derived from the French word reveiller, which means “to awaken”) twice during the holidays. The first Réveillon came after Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, when families returned from St. Louis Cathedral to break a daylong fast. This meal typically consisted of egg dishes, sweetbreads, and Creole specialties, such as daube glace. It often ended with a cake filled with a fruit confection, dripping with wine or rum, and topped with whipped cream.

New Year’s Eve brought another Réveillon, usually shared among several families. This more elaborate meal featured eggnog, fancy pastries, meringues, sugar sculptures, and crystallized fruits. By late afternoon, families would return home to a light supper followed by a night of singing and dancing – with wine and whiskey for the gentlemen and cordials and liqueurs for the ladies.

Today’s Réveillon is celebrated throughout the Holiday season in restaurants throughout the city. Menus combine ageless Creole cuisine with more contemporary New Orleans dishes, but the spirit of the past remains.

In fact, some of our Réveillon restaurants – Commander’s Palace and Tujague’s – are more than 100 years old! Revel in nostalgia and join us for Réveillon – the authentic taste of Holidays New Orleans Style!
