Mark Romig, senior vice-president and chief marketing officer for New Orleans and Company, will return as master of ceremonies, along with local favorites Harry Mayronne, Chris Wecklein and Amy Alvarez leading carols. 

Patio Planters President Joey DiFatta invites participation from throughout the local community, region, and nation. He cites this as a momentous occasion. “Caroling has been our gift to people from near and far since 1946,” said DiFatta. 

Caroling in Jackson Square will be live streamed on www.nola.com and www.patioplanters.net where songbooks may be downloaded. The event will also be available for viewing after December 19 on WLAE channels. Gates open at 6:30pm
