Easter in New Orleans is not a single event. It is a full day of layered celebration, rooted in centuries of Catholic tradition, refracted through the city's irrepressible love of parade, pageantry, and the pleasures of the table.

The short-term rental landscape in New Orleans has dramatically shifted as over 1,000 unlicensed Airbnb properties were recently removed from the platform following the city's enforcement of rigorous new permitting regulations. This massive purge, which began in August 2025, represents one of the most significant changes to New Orleans tourism accommodations in years, leaving many travelers scrambling to find alternative lodging options for their French Quarter visits.
