Since the pandemic began, we have been giving every visitor ‘Feed Your Soul’ masks and hand sanitizers at all 9 Welcome Centers, 9 state museums, and 21 state parks as a gift to show our hospitality and encourage them to be safe, practice social distancing, and be considerate of others. We are all ready to take necessary safety precautions as we move forward, but it’s time to get back to the way of life New Orleans is most famous for – our hospitality, unique variety of cuisines, and music throughout the city.”
