Greetings!
It's been a fabulous year so far - and we're still going!
Looking back over 2025, we are amazed at the response to our first major goal - inviting families to come back to Canal Street. To accomplish that we sponsored eight public events on Canal Street. By all accounts and data from Downtown Development District, we succeeded. Thank you for your support in making this possible. Stay with us as we move into the next phase of Celebrate Canal.
A Saints-sational Season-Opener Celebration on Canal
Our most recent public event, the Saints Pre-Game Season-Opener Party was so much fun that we resolve to do it again! Our fabulous host, The Saint Hotel, rolled out the red carpet for us as we shared delicious food, an open bar, a brass band (Brass-a-holics) followed by a ride to the Dome in a hop-on, hop-off bus (Thank you City Sightseeing!). Special thanks to Lauren Gusanders and Wander On for leading the planning and implementation of this great idea.
Read all about it below.

Mark your calendars and plan to attend our next Celebrate Canal Quarterly Meeting on Thursday, November 13th. It has been our pleasure to host each of our quarterly meetings at a different exciting venue on Canal Street and we will continue to do this. On November 13th, we will talk about our next phase of Celebrate Canal – Go Big on Canal. We will share with you how we arrived at the Vision for Canal Street. We need your support to help us move forward with this vision. We will also share updates, ideas and upcoming events!
