“It is an honor and a true privilege to welcome King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia to New Orleans at this historic moment for our City,” said Mayor Cantrell. “The King and Queen are reshaping what it means to lead in this new century, and as we mark our Tricentennial, we are proud to embrace and to celebrate all the rich cultural traditions that make up our 300-year history — including the many positive contributions of Spanish culture and the Spanish-speaking people. We look forward to hosting the King and Queen, and to a weekend of wonderful events.”

The King and Queen are embarking on a three-city tour in the United States that also includes Washington, D.C., and San Antonio.
