Introducing the

New Orleans Custom Knife Invitational

The Venue

Hotel information

There are several hotel options in the French Quarter and near the venue. Most are within a short walking distance of 5 to 10 minutes. We strongly recommend booking a room well in advance, as New Orleans will be hosting Jazz Fest the same weekend as the knife show.

If you are unable to book a hotel in close proximity, travel by car should not be too challenging but plan for traffic accordingly.

The address of the venue is:

  • Creole Queen: 1 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA 70130

Hotels nearby (as a reminder, none of these hotels are affiliated with the show and the city has plenty of other options available.):

  • Hilton Riverside: 2 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
  • Harrahs Casino & Hotel: 228 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA, 70130
  • The Westin New Orleans: 100 Rue Iberville, New Orleans, LA, 70130
  • Le Méridien New Orleans: 333 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA, 70130
