While Celebration in the Oaks is certainly a must-see if you’re on the prowl for holiday light displays in New Orleans, there’s another, smaller park located just outside of New Orleans with a holiday light display that will put you smack dab in the middle of the holiday spirit, and that’s over at Lafreniere Park. Let’s take a closer look.

Nestled in good old Metairie, Lafreniere Park is one of the crown jewels of Jefferson Parish as far as public parks are concerned.

The 155-acre park is a natural oasis for anyone looking to get away from the city for an hour or two. Beautiful nature trails, peaceful lagoons, a carousel, and an 18-hole disc-golf course are just a few of the attractions you can enjoy here.
