Open a season to see every Thursday-to-Sunday weekend: the real rate, what's still open, and the events worth planning around.
The short version: October and February through May are the big months, with Carnival and Jazz Fest at the top of the calendar. June through September is pool season at the year's friendliest rates, and January is the quiet secret.
