New Orleans in Mid-November

Hi. I was in N.O. last Christmas and loved it. I enjoyed the Christmas spirit, decorations, activities down there. I%26#39;d like to go back again this year, but, can%26#39;t make it in December. I%26#39;m guessng most of the Christmas holiday decorating and activities don%26#39;t start till after Thanksgiving. But, maybe I%26#39;m wrong. What%26#39;s N.O. like in mid-November? Thanks!

New Orleans in Mid-November

Celebration In The Oaks in City Park runs November 23 through December 30, 2007. The Christmas lights and exhibits are fun to see while riding in a mule drawn carriage.

Weather should be great in November. Fall is convention time in New Orleans so it should be lively.

New Orleans in Mid-November

Greetings, neighbor.

One slight difference between Dec and Nov is the prices range. Hotels seem to have about three price ranges -- highest, of course, in Carnival and Mardi Gras, medium range in spring and fall, and lowest prices in the hot summer. But that lowest range also includes December, somewhere around Dec 7 or so until day before New Year%26#39;s eve.

But then, check all the web reservation sites, and then before ordering call the hotel directly and boldly (but politely) ask what discount rates they are offering. Halloween is another higher priced spread, and Thanksgiving weekend itself may be higher rates for the long weekend holiday, but somehow Christmas is not. The rest of November, earlier and later, would vary depending on whether there are large conventions in town. Ir your eac dates are stil flexible, check online and call the hotels and frankly ask which days have lower prices. As at any time, sometimes just asking gets you a lower rate.

I love New Orleans in December, too.

Mid-November....not so many Christmas lights but still very festive.

Driving into the Quarter one day in mid-November, I saw people wearing tank tops because the weather was in the 80%26#39;s. The next day brought a very cold, rainy, low 50%26#39;s. Pack your luggage for anything.

My advice is this: if you have a chance to go at all, take it.
