“New Orleans Christmas in the District” is an annual holiday-themed event celebrating the culture and history of New Orleans. The event, which runs throughout the month of December, features a series of holiday-themed large-scale light displays down Convention Center Blvd., climaxing at the Convention Center’s new pedestrian plaza.
The highlight of the display resides at the main entrance to the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center where a light show consisting of digitally animated lighting effects synchronized to music will entertain visitors. The display includes a unique digital Christmas tree, thousands of channels of lights that dance to the music and strobe lights that will surprise and delight visitors at just the right moments during the show.
