August Offers Exclusive Deals in New Orleans

Average temperature low and high: 76°-92°
The August humidity in New Orleans calls for light, comfortable clothes, but the summer heat never stops the fun. It does, however, tend to slow tourist season down a bit, which means deals on hotels, attractions, and more. For example, because of COOLinary, it's a great month to stay cool indoors trying out different restaurants; multiple ones will have discounted, 3-course brunches, lunches, and dinners.
