NEW ORLEANS – NOLA ChristmasFest, the region’s only indoor Christmas festival, is back and ready to usher in the holiday spirit. With only days until the fun-filled winter wonderland returns to The New Orleans Ernest N.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m., on Wednesday, Dec. 21, and the event runs through Friday, December 30.
This year, NOLA ChristmasFest features three chilly ice slides, local arts and crafts at the Yuletide Market and fun rides such as the Big Blast Blizzard, Kringle Carousel, Sizzlin’ Sleigh Ride and Scrooge’s Sled. Visitors can refuel with holiday-themed treats at the Mrs. Claus’ Sweet Shop and warm up with a hot chocolate or signature craft cocktail at the Polar Pub.
“We are delighted to offer this one-of-a-kind holiday experience to New Orleans for the ninth year,” said Michael J. Sawaya, The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center President. “We look forward to bringing holiday cheer and welcoming locals and visitors back to the Convention Center to celebrate.”
