Downtown New Orleans

The Downtown Development District implemented the banner program to beautify Downtown, while highlighting major events occurring Downtown. According to recent data, Downtown’s day time population is over 120,000 people. Major conventions, trade shows, championship sporting events and festivals draw 8.3 million annual visitors.

Locations
Banners currently grace poles on Canal Street, Poydras Street, Convention Center Boulevard, Loyola Avenue, as well as areas of the Arts District and the Medical District.

Cost
The cost to install banners range from $9-$12 per pole depending on the number of banners installed. Non-profits are eligible for a discounted rate. The cost of banner fabrication is to be negotiated between the fabricator and the sponsor.

Banner Construction and Installation
The DDD requires that all banners be constructed, installed and removed by the DDD's Approved Contractors.
