Live Webcams in New Orleans

New Orleans, Louisiana, is the city that gave the world jazz and kept the street as its stage, and the live webcams in New Orleans put you in the French Quarter, the 78 blocks the French laid out in 1718 and the Spanish rebuilt after the fires of the 1780s and 90s. The kinds of spots a New Orleans webcam watches are Bourbon Street at street level, where the brass bands and the bachelorette parades pass, and a wrought-iron balcony above it, which is how the city has always watched itself. New Orleans keeps Central Time, UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer; the Quarter wakes late and runs until three in the morning local, so a European breakfast catches the last of the night and a European midnight the early evening. Mardi Gras falls in February or early March, Jazz Fest in late April, and the balconies fill for both.
