Itinerary
Convention Dates
The New Orleans Convention will be held at the Mariott Hotel on Canal Street from Monday 2nd June thru Sunday 8th June 2014. We have tried to come up with a schedule of events that the Worldwide Celtic family would enjoy and get a real taste of the flavor of New Orleans. We have worked out a deal with Hospitality Enterprises New Orleans to be the official tour company of the Convention which means that the New Orleans Celtic Supporters club will earn a small commission for every tour booked through them. This will go a long way to pay for the costs of putting on the Convention.
Schedule of Events
Monday, June 2nd: A day for everyone to settle in, meet old friends and make new ones. We have partnered with City Sightseeing New Orleans. This is a double decker hop on - hop off tour bus that will provide live guided tours around the city. For $39 your ticket will be valid for 7 days of unlimited sightseeing. Your ticket will also include a guided French Quarter Walking tour, a guided Garden District walking tour and a self guided New Orleans Haunted Cemetary tour. We will have an official shuttle bus from the Airport to the Marriott for $20 one way or $38 round trip.
