The New Orleans Spring Fiesta Association Events

A leader in cultural preservation and tourism since 1937, the New Orleans Spring Fiesta Association is a non-profit, all volunteer organization with a simple mission:

To promote ... New Orleans and the State of Louisiana by educating, preserving, and sharing our unique heritage, architecture, culture and cuisine with all who come to enjoy our hospitality.

The Spring Fiesta is the highlight of NOSFA's events and the crown in its annual calendar. It is a time when the Vieux Carré opens its heart and homes to visitors, both local and from around the world. The New Orleans Spring Fiesta Association invites an exploration of many fine homes, enchanting courtyards, and elegant gardens during the azalea-filled spring. The French Quarter displays its history, charm, and uniqueness through NOSFA's wonderful presentations and cultural events.

The Spring Fiesta takes place during two weekends. This marvelous celebration of New Orleans's singular heritage is comprised of The Spring Fiesta Parade of horse-drawn carriages through the French Quarter, The Royal Court Presentation and Promenade in Jackson Square, culminating in the Cotillion Gala, a lovely “Night in Old New Orleans”. The Culinary Experience with NOSFA members and Spring Fiesta Court at historic Antoine's restaurant, followed by a tour of rarely open lush Vieux Carré courtyards, complete Spring Fiesta.
