New Orleans Music Walking Tour

This immersive music walking tour dives into the beating heart of New Orleans’ musical story, beginning in Louis Armstrong Park and historic Congo Square, where African rhythms and traditions laid the foundations for sounds that would travel the world.

As you wander through the neighbourhoods that shaped it all, you’ll follow the evolution of jazz, blues and early rock ’n’ roll, uncovering the stories of the musicians, venues and recording studios that defined the unmistakable New Orleans Sound. From the faded echoes of Storyville to the legendary stretch of Basin Street, every stop adds another layer to the city’s musical soul.

The walk ends outside Preservation Hall, a fitting finale where past and present blend – where the spirit of New Orleans music is still very much alive.
