The French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré, is the oldest neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. After New Orleans (La Nouvelle-Orléans in French) was founded in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the city developed around the Vieux Carré ("Old Square" in English), a central square. The district is more commonly called the French Quarter today, or simply "The Quarter," related to changes in the city with American immigration after the Louisiana Purchase. Most of the extant historic buildings were constructed either in the late 18th century, during the city's period of Spanish rule, or were built during the first half of the 19th century, after U.S. annexation and statehood.
The district as a whole has been designated as a National Historic Landmark, with numerous contributing buildings that are separately deemed significant. It is a prime tourist destination in the city, as well as attracting local residents. Because of its distance from areas where the levee was breached during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as well as the strength and height of the nearest Mississippi River Levees in contrast to other levees along the canals and lakefront, it suffered relatively light damage from floodwater as compared to other areas of the city and the greater region.
New Orleans (/nuː ˈɔːrlɪnz/,/nuː ˈɔːrliənz/, /nuː ɔːrˈliːnz/, or /ˈnɔːrlənz/; French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuvɛlɔʁleɑ̃]) is a major United States port and the largest city and the center of the metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The population of the city was 343,829 as of the 2010 U.S. Census. The New Orleans metropolitan area (New Orleans–Metairie–Kenner Metropolitan Statistical Area) had a population of 1,167,764 in 2010 and was the 46th largest in the United States. The New Orleans–Metairie–Bogalusa Combined Statistical Area, a larger trading area, had a 2010 population of 1,452,502.
The city is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723, as it was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their European culture. It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" in the United States.

This is the largest free music festival in the south. April is one of the best times to come to New Orleans. The weather is usually perfect this time of year. It starts with four days of French Quarter Fest where hundreds of bands play on twenty-three outdoor stages around the French Quarter and by the Mississippi river. At the end of the month, there is the Zurich PGA golf tournament and two weekends of Jazz Fest going into May. I was only able to capture a small portion of all of the festivities including food, sights, and music. I start out by driving across the longest bridge in the United States, the Causeway bridge, which is 24 miles long and built in 1956. Once we arrive, we meander around and see a few of the bands and the sights. I don't go to New Orleans very often but ...

Staring at this tool for an age of ugliness
Workplace is corrupt, nothing's gonna change
The road looks better as every minute passes by
Should be screamin' story of how we made it all this way
Brand Blvd. way, to a desolate road in New Orleans
Don't you know - there's a place bums like us can go
Don't you know - happiness comes and it goes
So all you rock and rollers with voices in your heads
They're never gonna change, they're here to stay
and they're telling you to do what you really want to do
Should be screamin' story of how we made it all this way
Brand Blvd. way, to a desolate road in New Orleans
Don't you know - there's a place bums like us can go
Don't you know - happiness comes and it goes
As I look down on my glass of red wine
I sit and think what might've been
Nah, fuck that man, live for today
For today...
Don't you know - there's a place bums like us can go
