The Jefferson Convention and Visitors Bureau is proud to present Family Gras again in 2010. Dedicated to our hospitality industry, we continue our efforts in bringing visitors into Jefferson Parish. We have a unique parish complementing our neighboring Orleans parish. Family Gras is a perfect way to showcase Jefferson Parish as a tourist destination. We invite people to our family-friendly Mardi Gras, and through the sponsorship of our hospitality and business community we are able to produce a free outdoor concert that includes national and Louisiana artists alike.

The event also enables Jefferson Parish restaurants, caterers, and businesses to feature their cuisine, and desserts through the Flambeau Food Court; as well as their crafts and art pieces through our Art Market.

White Hall Plantation House still stands proudly in grandeur and stately solemnity overlooking the once not so broad Atchafalaya River and surrounding Bayou Coteau.

Established in 1849 by Captain Samuel J. Norwood, White Hall Plantation House has witnessed, survived, and outlived a bygone era of Antebellum elegance, grace, and chivalry as well as a turbulent history of war and retreat, levee set-backs, and demolition by neglect leaving her battered but unbowed. Though weathered, White Hall Plantation House retains her dignity, rejects pity, and demands a second look as a premier landmark of authenticity and permanence.

Al Wehmeier established his first store in 1951 on St. Charles Ave. From there he went to University Place and then to Canal St. In 1987, he purchased this property at 719 Toulouse St. in the French Quarter.

Recently a second Wehmeier's opened at the upscale "The Shops at Canal Place". When your travel destinations include wonderful New Orleans, please plan to visit both stores. You will be in for a unique and pleasant shopping experience.

The 2nd oldest restaurant in New Orleans! Located in the heart of the French Quarter, facing the historic French Market, Tujague's has retained its reputation for providing an unforgettable dining experience in the original Creole tradition. Tujague's has been a favorite for over 150 years, entertaining and satisfying the appetites of delightfully robust patrons to the French Quarter.

Getting around in New Orleans is a lot like getting to the land of OZ! There are no mountains in Louisiana...and, depending upon where you are in the city, you're either at sea-level or below. The city is built on a bend in the river (hence the Crescent City name) with streets radiating outward.

Conveniently located on the first floor of the historic Old Absinthe House in the heart of the French Quarter, Tony Moran’s continues to be a New Orleans favorite after more than half a century.
