This event is free and open to the public, and features free wagon rides throughout the neighborhood, free stable tours, and more. One of America’s oldest cities, New Orleans, can be defined by its history and traditions that are still alive and well in the old French Quarter and surrounding neighborhoods. Preserving one of those cultural traditions is a 3rd generation family-owned company known as Royal Carriages. Since the birth of New Orleans in 1718, guests have toured the city by carriage. It's the proper way to see the French Quarter and the most authentic view of the city. For generations, the Lauga Family has been passionate about providing the best tours around and it's this commitment that has made Royal Carriages the oldest commercial carriage operator in the United States. On Wednesday, October 26th, Royal Carriages hosts it’s 75th Anniversary Celebration in conjunction with National Mule Day, a holiday that honors the contributions that mules have made for America. Guests in attendance can expect live music by the Shotgun Jazz Band in addition to food provided by New Orleans School of Cooking and Aunt Sally’s Pralines.
