Local planning guide
Christmas in New Orleans: lights, markets, and holiday shows
Happens.city gathers Christmas and holiday events from local venue, community, church, and ticket calendars across New Orleans, LA — light displays, markets, tree lightings, Santa meet-and-greets, and Nutcracker performances, all with dates and ticket links.
Lights and markets
Drive-through and walkable light displays, holiday markets, and tree lightings are grouped with dates, hours, and locations so you can build a full evening.
For the family
Santa visits, children's shows, and all-ages events are kept distinct from 21+ holiday parties, so the plan fits who you're bringing.
Book the ticketed shows early
Nutcracker and holiday concerts sell out. Listings link to official ticket sources so you can lock in before they're gone.
