Night Tours

Night and evening tours visit music clubs, restaurants, neighborhoods and more as the moon rises over the crescent city.

New Orleans is magical 24 hours a day but the city comes alive after dark. Explore the boundaries of your circadian rhythms with tours that skip along neon-lit streets and bask in the glow of a starlit sky. Themed by nightlife, music and forays into the supernatural, evening tours set the stage for a night to remember. Try one of these to celebrate the waning hours of your Crescent City day.

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

• Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
• Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
• Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
• Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
• Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
• Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
• Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

TOP 10 EVENTS AND THINGS TO DO TONIGHT

Below are our top 10 activities to do after dark in New Orleans. 

If you're curious about some of the better events and activities you can enjoy tonight, the following calendar provides information about free tours, notable concerts, theatrical events and more.

1. Take a Night Tour 

There are several different night tours available in New Orleans. Experience the unique architecture of this city after dark on one of the following outings.

We offer pay-what-you-wish ghost tours and cemetery tours which take place after dark. We also offer voodoo tours that cover subjects such as the life of Marie Laveau!

If you don’t feel like walking, consider taking a cemetery & ghost bus tour instead.

There is also a sightseeing Segway tour which runs from 6 pm - 8 pm as well as  pub crawl  and  cocktail history tours .

2. Listen to Live Music 

There are a lot of great places to listen to music in New Orleans.

You might even stumble into some people playing live music on Bourbon Street or Frenchman Street!

There are also free and affordable music festivals held throughout the year, including Jazz in the Park (video below).

For more details on this and the venues where you can expect to hear some excellent tunes, check our post on live music in New Orleans .

3. Take a Night Swamp Trip

A swamp tour can be great family fun on any day, but when the sun goes down everything seems to change.

The more adventurous crowds out there might want to consider taking a night swamp tour for a completely different experience.

Using a powerful light, a tour guide will take you around the swamps of New Orleans and reveal what the wildlife does after the sun goes down.

Expect to see at least a few alligators on this trip! The night swamp tours run from June through October. Learn more here .

Check our comparison post on  New Orleans swamp tours  for all types of options.

4. Take a Riverboat Cruise 

There are a few different riverboats in New Orleans and they all offer jazz dinner cruises.

Most depart at 7 pm and runs until 9 pm allowing you to catch the sunset and watch the city lights up all while listening to great New Orleans music. 

Both tourist attraction discount passes offer a jazz cruise for free. For more details, check out our post on New Orleans city passes .

If you want a more affordable option, consider hopping on the $2  Canal Street/Algiers Point ferry , which offers pretty great views of the city during sunset and after dark. 

5. Attend a Sporting Event 

New Orleans is the home of at least a few notable sports teams including the Saints and the Pelicans .

While the Saints may just offer a couple of night games each year, the Pelicans offer regular games after dark. 

In addition to these professional teams, you can also see some of the best young and upcoming stars of the future playing for the Tulane Green Wave NCAA Football team or the Tulane Green Wave NCAA Basketball team .

6. See a Burlesque Show 

The art of burlesque has a long and interesting history in New Orleans, so it makes sense that there are quite a few places where you can catch a live show.

Some popular venues (such as the House of Blues) even have their own in-house troupe which performs on a regular basis.

Thanks to a recent revival, burlesque shows are more popular in NOLA than ever before.

You’ll even find a few locations taking a neo-burlesque approach with a brand of entertainment that is very similar to circus arts.

If you’re in the mood for a fun and interesting night on the town, check this list of the Top 10 Burlesque Shows in New Orleans .

7. Grab a Cocktail 

New Orleans has an interesting history with cocktails, as many popular drinks were actually invented here.

Whether you plan on doing a pub crawl (see #2 above) or you’re just going to go out for a nice dinner, keep your eyes peeled for classic cocktails created in NOLA such as:

• Ramos Gin Fizz
• Café Brûlot

We have even put together a self-guided cocktail tour of New Orleans  or learn about the 12 must-try New Orleans cocktails and which locations specialize in them.

TIP: Head to Hotel Monteleone to experience the only Carousel Bar in New Orleans!

8. See a Live Show 

There are plenty of great venues and theaters in New Orleans, and they often play host to several notable performances.

Whether you feel like going to a concert or a play, there are usually several different options throughout the year.

Keep an eye out for fun and interesting shows at the following locations:

• Saenger Theatre
• Smoothie King Center
• Preservation Hall
• The House of Blues
• Joy Theater

9. Dinner and Dancing

Whether you’re looking for a more formal experience or you just want to have some fun, there are several great locations to grab a bite to eat and do some dancing.

One of the more interesting options is Rock n’ Bowl , a venue that is part-restaurant, part-bowling alley, and part dance club. 

Mulates is another popular restaurant that offers live music every night. The Maison offers dinner shows almost every night, giving guests the opportunity to hear live jazz while enjoying their meal.

If you’re only looking for a light meal, you might also want to consider Mimi’s in the Marigny . This bar offers drinks and tapas downstairs with DJ music and dancing upstairs!

These are only a few of your options in New Orleans, but there are many more to consider. For more ideas, here is a list of the best places for dancing in NOLA .

10. Go to a Casino 

Located right in the heart of New Orleans, Harrah’s Casino is definitely one of the more popular spots in this city to visit after dark.

You could also play the slots and bet on horses at the Fairgrounds Racetrack . Horses race from November through March, but the slot machines run all year.

Honorable Mention s

Play the escape game.

Escape rooms are one of the most popular forms of entertainment because you work together to find clues and solve puzzles in a limited time to 'escape the room'.

The Escape Game has a few different themed-rooms: Special Ops ,  The Heist , Playground  and  Prison Break .

Their night hours run quite late, and you can book a slot as late 11:55 pm

Better still, The Escape Game experience is included in some New Orleans discount tourist passes like the  New Orleans Sightseeing Pass .

Sleepover at a Plantation

7. Grab a Beignet After Dinner

These delightful pastries are a wonderful treat at any time of the day, but you might want to consider grabbing one for dessert.

Depending on how and where you get them, you can order a beignet with flavors as simple and delicious as chocolate, or as adventurous as crab & crawfish.

One of the most popular places to find this dish is Cafe du Monde , located in the heart of the French Quarter just across the street from Jackson Square.

Children are invited to make a unique keepsake every week. Sometimes they even host book signings, featured artists and demonstrations.

This popular music club hosts a variety of jazz musicians on a nightly basis.

Honorable Mentions

Here are a few additional diners/pubs that you may want to consider.

Coop’s Place – Grab some cajun food or get traditional southern fried chicken at this New Orleans staple late into the night.

The menu is simple and the food is delicious – what more could anyone ask for?

Safety at Night in New Orleans

When traveling to New Orleans we would like to help you make the best decisions to make your visit to the Big Easy as comfortable and safe as possible.

Can you walk in New Orleans at Night?

It is best, if possible, to travel with a companion when walking the streets of the French Quarter at night. 

It may be safe to update a friend, or family member, where you are headed when traveling from one location to another.

Most hotels and tourists booths provide free maps of the city.  Consult with them and have them let you know of the safest streets and routes for foot traffic. 

Is it safe to walk to Frenchmen Street from the French Quarter?

We suggest Royal Street and Decatur Street. If you are carrying a purse, wear it across the chest strap, if your camera has a strap wear it the same way, pickpockets are in every city. 

We suggest wearing sensible shoes in New Orleans, as the sidewalks are very old and uneven. 

Make sure that you are aware when crossing the streets. Often intersections do not have pedestrian stop and walk symbols at intersections with traffic lights. 

Bourbon Street and Royal Street are the only two French Quarter streets to be closed to foot traffic only.  So, when walking and looking at all of the beauty of the Quarter be careful.

Is there a party on Bourbon Street every night?

Technically yes, as this area is popular almost all year long. There are times when it isn't as busy on Bourbon Street, but you should always be careful while walking around this area at night.

Uber and Lyft are great options to keep yourself safe when in the city. Cabs and Taxis can often take more than 30 minutes to arrive, whereas ride shares take moments.   

Make sure when they pull up that the driver and license plate match the info on your app.

New Orleans R&B singer Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry dies aged 87

Clarence “Frogman” Henry, who was one of New Orleans’ best known old-time R&B singers and scored a hit at age 19 with Ain’t Got No Home, has died. He was 87.

Henry died on Sunday night, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation said on social media. It did not give the cause of death.

Henry, who had been scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival later this month, imitated the voice of a frog in Ain’t Got No Home. It was a hit in 1956 and later brought Henry renewed fame when it was featured on the Forrest Gump and Mickey Blue Eyes soundtracks.

He credited disc jockey Poppa Stoppa, whose real name was Clarence Hayman, as coming up with the nickname the “Frogman”, which mimicked Fats Domino’s moniker the “Fatman”.

“I thought the sun would shine. I thought my record would always stay out there and stay on the top, but in 1958, the rain came and bring me back to New Orleans,” Henry told The Associated Press in 2003.

But in 1960, a new song, I Don’t Know Why But I Do by Cajun songwriter Bobby Charles and arranged by Allen Toussaint, brought Henry renewed success.

With the Bill Black Combo and the Jive Five he opened for the Beatles for 18 dates in 1964 during their first US trip and toured extensively, from Scotland to New Zealand.

In Louisiana, Henry remained popular. He also was one of the few black New Orleans musicians to cross over into Cajun musical circles.

Henry, who was born in New Orleans on March 19, 1937, started playing the piano at age eight, taking up lessons his sister had disliked. He worked for his father until he was 15, often for no money.

He played the trombone and piano in his high school band and later joined The Toppers, travelling around southern Louisiana before making it big.

“When I was going to school, I wanted to be Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, and I would wear a wig with two plaits and call myself Professor Longhair,” Henry told the AP. “I like the Fats Domino rhythm, but I play my own chords and my own style.”

Henry’s national fame faded but he remained popular in Louisiana. He was a Bourbon Street fixture until 1981, when he retired from the gruelling club circuit. But he never gave up music, and continued to be an annual crowd pleaser at the Jazz & Heritage Festival.
