Vehicles Limited – From 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. overnight Monday through Wednesday, public safety officials will screen vehicles entering the French Quarter within the perimeter of Canal, Decatur, Dumaine, and North Rampart streets.
Events associated with the Allstate Sugar Bowl will take place in New Orleans Wednesday, Jan. 1. Residents and visitors should expect heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the areas surrounding the French Quarter and Mercedes-Benz Superdome during associated events. Traffic and parking restrictions will be in place. As always, please take care in large crowds and report suspicious activity to public safety officials.
The New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (NOHSEP) will activate the City’s Emergency Operations Center, staffed by representatives from public safety agencies, to monitor the weekend’s events. Light towers, bollards and extra public safety personnel will be strategically placed throughout the French Quarter.
NOHSEP will also be in contact with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the State Police’s Fusion Center to ensure public safety.
Associated Events
- Allstate Fan Fest, Wednesday, Jan. 1, starting at 11 a.m. at Jax Brewery

Traffic Restrictions
In anticipation of large crowds, the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and the Louisiana State Police (LSP) will restrict traffic to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Additional intermittent street closures might be required as crowd size warrants.
- Vehicles Limited – From 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. overnight Wednesday, public safety officials will screen vehicles entering the French Quarter within the perimeter of Canal, Decatur, Dumaine, and North Rampart streets. From 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.

From 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. overnight on New Year's Eve only, the 500 and 600 blocks of Frenchmen Street and Decatur Street from Dumaine to Canal streets will be closed to vehicle traffic.
Road closures associated with the evacuation zone of the collapsed Hard Rock Hotel remain in place. Closures include Canal Street from Burgundy to Elk streets and North Rampart Street from Bienville to Common streets. Due to these closures, the City expects vehicle traffic to be even heavier than during previous New Year's Eve and Sugar Bowl events.

Exhibition to explore local sports history through 20 essential stories
“Crescent City Sport: Stories of Courage and Change” opens
|
WHO: The Historic New Orleans Collection
WHAT: “Crescent City Sport: Stories of Courage and Change,” an exhibition featuring original objects
WHEN:
December 31–March 8, 2020
Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
WHERE: 520 Royal St., in the French Quarter
HOW: Admission is free.
WHY:
Stories are central to our love of sports. In a new exhibition from The Historic New Orleans Collection, 20 stories feature bitter rivalries, shocking upsets and unlikely heroes and reveal how these moments are woven into the collective memory and identity of the local community.
“Crescent City Sport: Stories of Courage and Change”
opens Friday, Nov. 22, and explores sporting moments since the end of the American Civil War that have mirrored or instigated broader social and economic change in New Orleans. Curator Mark Cave noticed the vital role sports have played in the city’s slow—and often reluctant—progress toward inclusivity, and how major sporting events have long been a cornerstone of the city’s tourism economy.
Locals and visitors alike will quickly recognize some of the stories, such as the epic bouts of heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan, the founding of the Sugar Bowl in the midst of the Great Depression and the creation of the New Orleans Saints. The exhibition also covers horseracing, basketball, cycling, sailing, roller derby and more. Visitors will see the original Sugar Bowl trophy, a plaster cast of Sullivan’s arm, the Saints’ 2010 Super Bowl trophy and hundreds of original photographs and other objects from public and private collections throughout the community.
“Crescent City Sport” will be on view through Sunday, March 8, 2020. Admission is free, and the exhibition is open Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. and Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Free activity guides will be available for younger visitors.
“Crescent City Sport: Stories of Courage and Change” is presented by The Historic New Orleans Collection and sponsored by The Gayle and Tom Benson Charitable Foundation

3 PM – 5:30 PM
701 North Rampart Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116

Chief Allison "Tootie" Montana (December 16, 1922 – June 27, 2005), a lather by trade, was a New Orleans cultural icon who acted as the Mardi Gras Indian "chief of chiefs" for over 50 years. Tootie is revered in the Mardi Gras Indian culture as the Big Chief who is responsible for changing the violent way of the Indians' culture. Tootie was Big Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas Tribe and made the culture of the Mardi Gras Indians about pageantry rather than violence.
