Kenner

Kenner is home to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, the City is first to welcome our guests from around the world! Established in 1855, Kenner is a blend of history, culture and modern living. The city's "main street", Williams Boulevard, is bordered by the Mississippi River featuring the historic district, Rivertown, A Main Street USA community, and on the opposite end, beautiful Lake Pontchartrain.

A Main Street USA community, Kenner's historic district, Rivertown is a 16-block district that hugs the mighty Mississippi River. La Salle's Landing offers sweeping views of the mighty Mississippi along with a pair of boxers immortalized in statues. These are "Gypsy" Jem Mace and Tom Allen. They fought here in 1870. It was also the first-ever World Heavyweight Championship prizefight in the history of the sport. Rivertown's quaint setting includes Heritage Park where you will find replicas of Kenner's earlier days with the old Hardware Store & St. Mary's Church. Each Spring & Fall the park is transformed to an open theater where locals and visitors enjoy live bands and family movie nights! An array of museums, restaurants and shopping can be found in Rivertown. It is also home to the region's only Planetarium & MegaDome Cinema. Right next door is the award-winning Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts.

The Pontchartrain Center located along the beautiful shores of Lake Pontchartrain has over 70,000 square feet of space. The venue's versatility allows for the set up of everything from sporting events, exhibition and consumer shows, to elaborate banquet-style settings for awards ceremonies.
