There's No Place Like Tremé
Faubourg Tremé is America's oldest free black neighborhood. It's the community that gave rise to New Orleans jazz, brass bands, incredible architecture, New Orleans Mardi Gras Indians, and several pioneers of the civil rights movement. Had it not been for Tremé, our world would look and sound a lot different today.

The Tremé Bicentennial Committee includes representatives from the neighborhood and around New Orleans, LA. The committee is planning a year of events in partnership with the State of Louisiana, City of New Orleans, New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation, and New Orleans Multicultural Tourism Network. All proceeds from the Kick Off party will support the committee's work.
