IFWTWA Media Trip

New Orleans

October 10-12, 2025

Inside the Country. Outside the Imagination. Once you Visit New Orleans, you’re a Part of New Orleans. Whether this is your first time in New Orleans or you’re a seasoned visitor, the city’s invigorating spirit will inspire, captivate, and motivate you to jump in and see and do so much. Discover the spontaneous joy that is the Crescent City’s calling card. Subtract a few hours of sleep, multiply your dining pleasure by at least three times a day, and you have the perfect equation for an amazing New Orleans experience.

During this tour, learn where jazz music was born and about the confluence of cultures that defines New Orleans’ Creole history and cuisine! We will walk through the storied streets of the Vieux Carre and sip on classic New Orleans cocktails. In the evening, we will even scare up a few local neighborhood haunts on a tour of the above-ground tombs. The nights will end with jazz in your ears and the joy of New Orleans in your hearts.
