Early prep for Voodoo Fest/ Halloween Weekend

I came to NO for Voodoo Fest in 07 and loved it so I%26#39;m probably going to come back this year and bring my wife. Two questions, does the Canal St. car drop you off close enough to City Park to walk it, or is it better to take a cab? Also, how much would a cab form the FQ to City Park run me? Any help would be great. Thanks

Well I will let some of the experts give the current route but 2 years ago my wife and I took the Canal St. car from around Royal all the way to City Park. City Park was the last stop, you got out and the seats turn around and the street car goes back along the same route. It drops you off in front of the city park entrance which is in front of the musean of art and the sculpture garden.

Per the city park website:

If taking public transportation from downtown, take the 48-City Park/Museum Streetcar on the Canal Street streetcar line. Depart the streetcar at the end of the City Park Line at Lelong/Esplanade and Carrollton Avenues and walk into City Park.

Connecting Service is also available with a transfer to the City Park Line from the St. Charles Streetcar Uptown or via RTA buses. To view bus routes, call the RTA Rideline at 827-RIDE (7433) or visit their website.
