Celebration in the Oaks

This month-long holiday light exhibit in City Park draws hordes of families and visitors up for a festive good time. Take a driving tour through the park to see more than a million lights decorating century-old live oak trees. Celebration in the Oaks is a New Orleans family tradition that's also a fund raiser for the park. Tickets are $39.99 per vehicle - up to eight passengers, or splurge on a limo for 15/$150. Add in the Carousel Gardens amusement park for $25, or $35 just for that experience. The 2.25 driving tour experience takes about 30 to 45 minutes but that doesn't include the line. So bring snacks.
