The French Quarter will be alive with revelers for its 2013 NOLA New Year?s Eve bash. Expected is a crowd nearing the 50,000 mark, with parties spread throughout the Vieux Carre. Local restaurants will serve up Reveillon dinners, while bars will be decorated with bells on to ring in the New Year.

New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation, the city's official leisure tourism promotion agency, in collaboration with the Crescent City Countdown Club (CCCC), will coordinate the Decatur Street celebration in front of Jackson Square with performances up to the midnight countdown.

A newly renovated 8' tall by 5' wide two-dimensional fleur de lis ornament will descend a 25-foot pole atop Jax Brewery Condominiums to launch the exquisite fireworks, titled "Symphony in the Sky." Made of plywood with weather-treated cloth stretched over the frame, the fleur de lis is adorned with aluminum ribbons and LED lights, making it easier to view from both sides
