New Orleans for Labor Day

[Deleted]

We are looking for a city to check out for the Labor Day long weekend.  New Orleans is at the top of my husband's list.  I know it's not the *best* time to visit because of the humidity...can anyone tell me "I've been there in August/September and it was bearable?"

The biggest caveat I have is that Labor Day Weekend is always the Southern Decadence Festival in New Orleans.  It definitely changes the atmosphere of the French Quarter, though not so much the rest of the city.
