NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Are you looking for some holiday fun this weekend? An anniversary party celebrating one of Bourbon Street’s iconic cocktails, a Christmas boat parade, and two Santa-themed fun runs are all on the books. Here are Where Y’at’s weekend picks! First, head out to Bourbon Street this weekend and celebrate Tropical Isle’s 40th anniversary. Home of the strongest cocktail in New Orleans, the Hand Grenade, Tropical Isle is a Bourbon Street icon. Enjoy live music and $6 Hand Grenades at all of Tropical Isle’s locations. Next, work off those holiday calories at the Cajun Country Run on Saturday morning, Dec. 14…with a half marathon, plus a 10k, a 5k, and a one-mile fun run…followed by an after-party with a Mr. & Mrs. Claus costume contest. Participants can register in advance at the CajunCountry Run website. Grab your best Holiday costume: the Running of the Santas starts on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 14 at Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar…then, the Santas will “run” to Generations Hall. Enjoy drink specials and DJs, and costume contests for “Cutest Santa” and more. VIP options are available. Finally, on Saturday evening, Dec. 14, JB’s Fuel Dock will host a watch party for the West End Christmas Boat Parade. The parade will feature decorated holiday-themed boats.
