Bywater Tour

Over the course of three hundred years, the Upper Ninth Ward—now The Bywater—has evolved from a site of colonial plantations to an area of industrial import to a vibrant working class neighborhood. The Friends of the Cabildo invite all to explore the industrial riverfront-turned-urban park in this special walking tour of the neighborhood. Tour begins at Hotel Peter & Paul (2317 Burgundy Street) and ends at the Piety Street entrance to Crescent Park, with an optional guided walk back to the Crescent Park entrance at Elysian Fields. 10 am. $25. friendsofthecabildo.com.
