The Rampart Street Paraders

Rampart Street is a historic avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana, named after a fortification built in the city's early years. The street runs through diverse neighborhoods, including the French Quarter and the Faubourg Marigny, and was a significant center for African-American commerce and entertainment in the 20th century. Historically notable for its jazz heritage, Rampart Street features landmarks such as the Eagle Saloon and the J&M Recording Studio, where many prominent jazz musicians performed. Today, it remains an important cultural and historical site, with recent developments including the restoration of a streetcar line in 2016.
