Best events in

Lakeshore

While Lakeshore maintains a quiet, residential pace, there's no shortage of events and things to do in and around the area. Much of the neighborhood's social life centers on the waterfront and the commercial strip of Harrison Avenue in adjacent Lakeview. For larger concerts and theater productions, residents often head to major venues in downtown New Orleans, just a short drive away.

• The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere in Lakeshore and Lakeview is perfect for community gatherings, like the monthly Harrison Avenue Marketplace, and casual evenings out.
• Catch major concerts and touring shows at the University of New Orleans' Lakefront Arena, a key venue for the entire region located right on campus.
• Enjoy dinner with live music by the water at spots like The Blue Crab Restaurant & Oyster Bar along Lakeshore Drive.
