Cheerful voices warm a chilly night during the beloved 'Caroling in Jackson Square' holiday sing-along Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022, in New Orleans. ⁠
⁠
The Patio Planters of the Vieux Carre sponsored the popular event, providing candles and song books for participants. ⁠
⁠
The non-denominational community celebration began in 1946 as a simple gesture to bring Christmas cheer to those in the French Quarter 'who might not be having much holiday fun,' according to a 1948 Christmas Eve interview with Parker Harris, president of the Patio Planters.⁠
