In November, 2007, the City Park carousel in New Orleans re-opened its doors during the park's annual festival, The Celebration in the Oaks. Hurricane Katrina caused serious damage to the building, deck, and band organ, as well as moderate damage to the figures and mechanism, but you'll see from these pictures that the carousel is looking as good as new. This carousel was scheduled to receive its 100 year award in 2006, but the presentation of the NCA centennial plaque was postponed until November 16, 2007. Our congratulations go out to the people in New Orleans for their effort in restoring this carousel. In addition to this special presentation photo show, a photo show of pictures taken in 2002 is also available. Click on one of the pictures above to view a larger image.
