About Spanish Plaza
Spanish Plaza is an open-air public plaza and forecourt tied to Riverwalk Outlets, located at the foot of Canal Street by the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Unlike a traditional theater, this flexible space hosts a variety of events—from Lundi Gras VIP experiences to riverfront festivals—using temporary setups that adapt to each occasion. Capacity is event-dependent, with no fixed seating chart. When planning your visit, think in terms of flexible space and audience flow rather than fixed rows or sections.
Accessibility and convenience are at the core of Spanish Plaza, making it a popular choice for riverfront happenings in New Orleans’ CBD. The venue sits in a lively stretch of the city where retail, dining, and entertainment converge, just steps from the river and a short walk to downtown hotels and attractions.
Parking options include Riverwalk Outlets parking via the Hilton Riverside Whale Lot with validated rates, plus additional garages around Canal Street (such as P400/P403). For transportation, the New Orleans streetcar routes along Canal Street provide easy access to the venue from surrounding neighborhoods. If you’re staying nearby, the Hilton Riverside New Orleans sits adjacent to Riverwalk Outlets, with Canal Place and other CBD hotels within walking distance. Local dining and hospitality options abound, and affiliate partners offer curated recommendations for hotels and restaurants to enhance your visit.
Key events at Spanish Plaza have included Lundi Gras VIP experiences and other Riverwalk-led programs, reflecting the space’s ongoing role in riverfront redevelopment and community gathering. To secure your seats or access to events, rely on trusted partners and new, flexible seating arrangements created for each event.
