About Old Mercy Hospital Parking Lot
The Old Mercy Hospital Parking Lot is a historic site in New Orleans’ Mid-City, with roots tied to the Mercy Hospital complex that began on Annunciation Street and later evolved into the Lindy Boggs Medical Center. Located at 301 N Norman C Francis Parkway, this site has been used for past tent-style events by groups like UniverSoul Circus, but it is not currently a functioning, guaranteed venue with an active seating chart or event capacity.
