Visit Kenner

08/13/2026

We’re EXACTLY 1 MONTH out from Kenner’s 3rd Annual Restaurant Week kickin’ off:
September 13 - 19th, 2026
SO this week’s ‘Coffee with Carolyn’ is all about THAT!
& her fur-baby Beignet of course :)

Tag your favorite Kenner Eating, Drinking or Desserting spot to make sure they’ve signed up for the upcoming week of curated meals, discounts, or BOGO’s going on 9.13-9.19.26 to encourage our community to try something new, feast on a repeat FAVORITE or share with a fellow-foodie because Kenner might be ONLY 5 miles long from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain
BUT
there’s A LOT to FEAST on in between THAT so let’s PLAN to EAT September 13-19th!

Happy HAPPY 8th Anniversary Visit Kenner!

Since 2018, Carolyn Barrett, Executive Director, has been leading the Kenner-crusade.
Behind the scenes, the task of promoting this unique city is consistently changing & balancing it all so seamlessly is Carolyn.
This year we’ve been thrilled to bring weekly ‘Coffee with Carolyn’ episodes to our social channels to continue to uniquely expose our local community & businesses to the world.

8 years of growth.
8 years of excitement.
8 years of travel & tourism.

There are SO MANY reasons to Visit Kenner but here’s 8 more:
1. The Laketown Squadron, NBA G League affiliate of the New Orleans Pelicans is moving to Kenner’s own Pontchartrain Center & tickets are on sale now!
2. Kenner has a Food Truck Park that just opened!
3. Kenner’s International Restaurant Scene is booming & of course we’ll be showing ‘em all off during Kenner’s upcoming Restaurant Week September 13-19.
4. Kenner has festivals all throughout the year…from our annual Food Truck Festival (coming up October 25, 2026) to our magical Christmas village in Rivertown during the holidays!
5. Kenner not only is home to MSY, Louis International Airport BUT with the MSY Guest Pass you can get access to all the shopping & dining options post-security WITHOUT an airline ticket or having to go into the city! https://flymsy.com/msy-guest-pass/
6. Kenner runs 5 miles from the river to the lake so you can literally see it all: Rivertown to Laketown. Visit the Laketown Boat Launch & sandy beaches at Coconut then head over to the historic & adorable Rivertown!
7. Our parks are a-plenty in Kenner from the all-inclusive Miguez Park to our very own Dog Park!
8. Kenner’s land-based Treasure Chest Casino is MASSIVE, fun & has PLENTY of parking!
