Vieux Carré Matinées
Two French Quarter legends have created a program to offer a new experience to tourists and locals. The Historic New Orleans Collection will showcase a series of short films about Louisiana’s rich history and culture during free daily screenings at Le Petit Théâtre.
The Historic New Orleans Collection and Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré present
Tuesday-Saturday, 11:30a.m.–1:30p.m.
Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré
616 St. Peter St., French Quarter, on Jackson Square
Free and open to the public.
Most films run approximately 30 minutes and address topics such as Louisiana art, Creole cuisine, regional geography and historical topics like the Battle of New Orleans and the Haitian Revolution’s effects on New Orleans. The collaboration was formed to showcase the area’s unique history and culture and to encourage more visits to The Collection at 533 Royal Street and Le Petit Théâtre on Jackson Square.
