Our tradition and culture is what home is to people in New Orleans
Football Sundays, Who-Dat Chants,
Our music blasting at various festivals,
Whether it is at Jazz Fest, Voodoo or the French Quarter Fest.
Those are only some of the many reasons we are proud of New Orleans.
The strength we have after natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina,
The insanity of our flamboyant traditions such as Mardi Gras,
The excitement and liveliness of the French Quarter.
These are all things that keep our city and traditions alive.
This is what makes up our beautiful culture…
And our beautiful home.
