Summary
Big changes in the French Quarter this weekend—major closures and parking bans for ESSENCE Festival. From Friday, July 3rd at 10 AM to Monday, July 6th at 6 AM, a huge stretch from Canal to Dumaine and Decatur to Rampart is off-limits to regular traffic. Only emergency vehicles, hotel guests, residents, and businesses can pass through. Parking is strictly controlled—most interior streets including Iberville, Bienville, Conti, Canal, Decatur, and Bourbon are no-parking zones. Towed cars will be at the city’s lot on North Claiborne Ave (open 7:30 AM–10 PM), with fees to retrieve your ride. Plan ahead, or risk getting stuck with a tow bill.
