“We had a great time on the Tremé tour- Sandy was our guide. She was very knowledgeable, and I asked if she has a degree in history- she did…The birth of Jazz, rock and roll and rap was Congo Square, now the site of Louis Armstrong Park, and Sandy had great info on music history and local politics. We had just seen the first disc of Tremé- the HBO series- before our trip, and the tour will definitely add to our enjoyment.”

Today, Tremé is home to artists, musicians, and craftsmen, and is a living, breathing, joyful piece of New Orleans culture!
