Tips from locals
Congo Square is an open space, now within Louis Armstrong Park, which is located in the Tremé neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, just across Rampart Street north of the French Quarter. The Tremé neighborhood is famous for its history of African American music.
Historic landmark!! In the 18th century, slaves gathered there on Sundays, their day off, to sing, beat drums, sell home-made goods, and celebrate while African music was suppressed in the colonies.
