On this 2-hour walking tour, you’ll join your local expert guide for a fun and insightful adventure through Louis Armstrong Park. Named after one of the most famous jazz musicians in the world, this park, just steps from the French Quarter, holds a wealth of history within its gates.

As you pass through its famous arched entryway, your guide will share the history of the area known as Congo Square. This is one of the first locations in New Orleans where enslaved people and free people of color were allowed to gather. You’ll learn about the origins of jazz and how the music of West Africa and the Caribbean blended with European influences to create a uniquely American sound.

Keep an ear out for local street musicians who like to play in the park, and you may just get treated to an impromptu live performance to end the tour. Come away with an entirely new appreciation for New Orleans and its historic influences on art, history, and the birth of jazz music!
