Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

Palace Market is an open air art market located in the heart of the Marigny on popular Frenchmen Street. Palace Market showcases 100+ rotating artists offering handmade art, jewelry & goods to locals and visitors.
This market is small (there are two small areas to walk around), but it is central to all of the music and fun on Frenchman Street. Lots of great local artists doing art, jewelry, and interesting shirts, fixtures, etc. Definitely worth a stop while you are in town. If you are like me you will spend way more money then you intended, so come prepared!

LA MADAMA BAZARRE INVADES ROYAL STREET New fine-art gallery spotlights morbidly sexy twists on Louisiana arcana Something wickedly alluring this way comes . . . There are many New Orleans galleries that purvey traditional, sentimental images of Louisiana, but La Madama Bazarre lets loose a stellar consortium of underground artists whose multimedia work is alternately spiritual, delicately pretty, ethereally mystical and overtly sensual - drawing upon and reveling in all the glorious contradictions and cultures of New Orleans and its environs. Outsider art? Lowbrow? Underground? It doesn't really matter. Beauty and strangeness abound in equal doses at La Madama Bazarre. Sculptress Lateefah Wright's stoneware-clay two-headed dolls gaze at you with an almost sentient eeriness - then surprise you again when they turn out to be music boxes. Meanwhile, Jason London Hawkins' Southern gothic reveries and Christopher Morrison-Slave's expressionist and oddly tranquil acrylic swampscapes are contrastingly moody and somberly lulling. Jimmy "Rocket Man" Descant slyly comments on local culture and/or corruption with assemblages that are framed in the literal shape of the state of Louisiana and filled with imaginative juxtapositions of found-art baubles, trinkets and kitsch. Patti Meagher and Althea Holden do their shape-shifting through the magic of glasswork. Photographer Sean Yseult sees Storyville in a new (red) light with her timelessly elegant E.J. Bellocq-inspired portraits, while doll maker Christy Kane and photographer Darla Teagarden evoke the mystique and allure of female mythology. And yet, for all the subversively playful diversity of the art at La Madama Bazarre, the new gallery still manages to frighten sensitive souls. "Some people walk in and get scared and turn around and walk right out," says proprietress Jennifer Kirtlan about her artists' often-macabre themes. It's no surprise that an undercurrent of outsider rock & roll rebellion runs through much of the work at La Madama Bazarre - many of the gallery's artists are well-known figures in the local and national underground music scenes. Sean Yseult first came to attention as bassist with hard-rock extremists White Zombie and currently plays with Star & Dagger. Artist Johnny Brashear has played with Rock City Morgue. Dollmaker and photographer Christy Kane and gallery proprietress Jennifer Kirtlan used to conjure shadows together in the dream-rock trio Hazard County Girls. After originally opening La Madama Bazarre on St. Mary Street in the Lower Garden District in October 2013, Kirtlan recently relocated the gallery to 910 Royal Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Ensconced in a classic 1837 brick building, La Madama Bazarre is situated across the street from the Cornstalk Hotel and next to Cafe Amelie and its historic Princess of Monaco courtyard. The gallery's bubblegum-pink interior and white-frosting borders add a sweetly adorable contrast to the nightmarishly fantastic images, sculptures and other visual upendings that play across the walls of this most bizarre bazaar.
