Local tip for New Orleans

When planning an event in a public space like Audubon Park, always check with the New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways about generator permits and noise ordinances well in advance. Some residential areas also have strict noise curfews for outdoor equipment.

Delivery in New Orleans

Our team navigates narrow streets and historic districts with ease. We understand the challenges of delivery in areas with limited parking or multiple flights of stairs; just let us know in advance. Site access and designated setup areas are crucial for a smooth delivery.

New Orleans event seasons

Peak season for outdoor events runs from fall through spring, avoiding the intense summer heat and hurricane season. October to May offers the best weather windows. Be mindful of severe thunderstorm warnings during late spring and early fall, as sudden downpours are common.
