Visiting New Orleans In June

Events

As the summertime days grow longer, the Crescent City knows how to keep up! Each weekend in June is filled with something unique and fun. If you’re not out enjoying a local fest, stop by a rooftop bar for a drink or a restaurant with an outdoor patio for local New Orleans cuisine. Take a stroll through some of New Orleans’ most famous neighborhoods and you’re guaranteed to hear live music well after the sun goes down.

Pride

Celebrated as one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the U.S., New Orleans is a special place to celebrate Pride all month long. New Orleans Pride Weekend is June 9-11, with the Pride Parade typically falling on the Saturday of that weekend. Venues across the city are hosting both adult and family-friendly pride events of their own that weekend.

Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates the abolition of slavery in America and is celebrated locally with small gatherings across many museums and historic sites.
