Located right in the heart of the French Quarter, Jackson Square is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most recognizable places in all of New Orleans.
Over two million visitors flock to the 2½-acre space every year as it is the site of several city events and celebrations. You’ll find a bronze statue of Andrew Jackson at the center of the square, and surrounding it is a mixture of residential and commercial property. You’ll come across restaurants, shops, bars, cafes, museums, and other entertainment venues. One of the square’s most unique features is it being an open-air hub for artists to display their process as well as their work.
