座落在密西西比河畔的紐奧良市常常被指為是克裡奧爾市 (Creole City) ，也是美國的創意中心之一。做為爵士樂的發源地，有許多著名的音樂藝術家都是來自紐奧良，包括傑利‧羅‧摩頓 (Jelly Roll Morton，果凍捲摩頓) 、路易斯‧阿姆斯壯 (Louis Armstrong) ，以及瑪哈莉雅‧傑克遜 (Mahalia Jackson) 等。紐奧良的爵士節也是一年一度的盛事，吸引了許多來自世界各地的音樂家與遊客到此參觀。作家杜魯門．卡波特 (Truman Capote) 是在這裡出生的，而這裡也是田納西‧威廉斯 (Tennessee Williams) 著名的舞台劇「慾望街車」 (A Streetcar Named Desire) 的故事背景所在。
