We welcome 8M visitors to Canal Street annually

The Celebrate Canal! Coalition has plans for this historic district. Canal Street has historically been a family destination for shopping, entertainment and, of course, food.

Many New Orleanians have fond memories of strolling down Canal Street, holding onto their parents’ hands, peering into beautifully decorated shop windows before stopping to sit at the counter of a busy spot and sip on a fountain drink or milk shake.

With help from other interested citizens, the coalition will work to return Canal Street to a contemporary version of that: a destination for family outings, date nights or just hanging out with friends.

Yes!

📸 Flashback to 1918: Canal Street stood tall in the fight for freedom 🇺🇸✨

During WWI, massive “Buy Liberty Bonds” signs covered buildings along the corridor, rallying New Orleanians to support the war effort. Even then, Canal was more than a street.

Big moment for the Celebrate Canal team! 🎉

We had the honor of presenting our progress to the New Orleans City Council — and were deeply moved to receive a proclamation recognizing our work revitalizing Canal Street.

A huge thank you to the Council for uplifting this work, and a special shoutout to our fearless leader Sandra Herman, whose vision continues to guide and inspire us. 💛

We’re just getting started — and we’re counting down to the launch of Windows on Canal on May 10th! Stay tuned for an exciting season of public art, local storytelling, and celebration. 🪟✨

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes here at Celebrate Canal? We began the day strolling down Canal Street and popped into the Sheraton for a quick coffee where we met with Tremaine, who has been instrumental in helping facilitate the Sheraton's participation in our coalition!☕️ After that, we headed over to Creole House, then wrapped things up speaking with the Downtown Development District. Busy day, but so much progress! 🙌 #NewOrleans #Networking #MakingMoves #TeamWork

New Orleans or Las Vegas? Canal Street used to be a hub for bright, neon lights - much like Las Vegas or New York. As time went on, some of these faded away, but the memories still remain with us.

Decades ago, Sandra Herman stood strong against the demolition of the iconic Saenger Theatre, a champion for preserving New Orleans' rich history. Today, her passion for our city's heritage continues. She's joined forces with David Skinner, Director of NOLA Venues to breathe new life into Canal Street with the upcoming Windows on Canal art installation project. A testament to the enduring power of preserving our past for future generations.
