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.
