New Orleans
Go down to New Orleans for a New Year’s Eve celebration that you will never forget. Fodors.com believes “the main event is a thrilling 15-minute fireworks show on the Mississippi River, along with the Fleur de Lis drop, where “Baby New Year” is dropped from the roof of the Jax Brewery in Jackson Square.” Afterwards stroll through Bourbon Street and the Latin Quarter for authentic music and parties that practically go on all night long.
