Super Bowl 2025 is just around the corner — and New Orleans is going all out with their pre-game events and parties!
This year’s matchup will feature the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, taking on the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9. Kendrick Lamar will headline the Apple Music halftime show with a special guest appearance by SZA.
Ahead of the big game, Page Six has put together a go-to guide for everything fans need to know about Super Bowl LIX, including all the hottest events, star-studded parties, concerts, tailgates, shopping experiences and more taking place in New Orleans.

The Crown x Starter satin jacket — which is adorned with the official Super Bowl LIX logo and inspired by the Big Easy — is one of the hottest items available to shop this year, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefitting the Foundation for Louisiana.

THURSDAY, FEB. 6
NFL Honors
This year’s event, which recognizes the NFL’s best players, performances and plays from the 2024 season, will take place at the Saenger Theatre.
The 14th annual awards show, presented by Invisalign, will kick off with the NFL’s most prestigious stars walking the red carpet before Snoop Dogg takes the stage as this year’s host.
The awards announced at NFL Honors include AP Most Valuable Player, Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and AP Comeback Player of the Year, among others. Fans can tune into the ceremony starting at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on FOX and NFL Network, or stream via NFL+.
Many sports fans will also have their eyes on Eli Manning Thursday evening, in hopes of the two-time Super Bowl champion’s name being called for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025. The New Orleans native is one of 15 finalists up for induction into the prestigious Hall of Fame.
“It’s all out of your hands, you’re not campaigning for it, you’re not trying to talk to people about it or prove your point,” Manning exclusively told The Post earlier this month. “If I get in, it will be an awesome, unbelievable few days down in New Orleans, and if I don’t, it’s not going to ruin it for me … just to be included in the top 15 this year is a great honor, so I look at all of this as positive and a fun experience.”
