This looks like fun! It's going to take place between April 17 through the 23rd.
Looks like the Blue Angels will be there the 21st (Saturday) and 22nd (Sunday) and practicing on the 19th. I can't find what time they fly though

This looks like fun! It's going to take place between April 17 through the 23rd.
Thousands of sailors and 10 tall ships and modern warships will converge on New Orleans next month, when the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard kick off four years of international events to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812. City and military officials provided details of "Navy Week NOLA" today during a news conference at City Hall.
The USS Wasp, an 844-foot amphibious assault ship, is among 10 vessels scheduled to visit New Orleans, April 16-23, to commemorate the War of 1812's bicentennial.
New Orleans is the inaugural city for the Navy-led events that begin April 17-23 and conclude in the Crescent City in January 2015, on the 200th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.
Planners are preparing for 50,000 people to flock to New Orleans’ lakefront for two days of air shows over Lake Pontchartrain, featuring the Navy’s Blue Angels as the headliner and other military acts. As many as 25,000 people are expected to tour the vessels that for a week will be docked along the Mississippi River’s east bank, from the Crescent City Connection to the Esplanade Avenue Wharf.
Admission to the events is free. Ship tours will be available daily, with mornings reserved for school groups and afternoons for the general public
Of the ten visiting ships, three are tall ships, including the Coast Guard’s Eagle, Indonesia’s Dewaruci and Ecuador’s Guayas. France is sending its frigate, FS Germinal. England is sending the frigate HMS Montrose, and Canada is sending the HMCS St. Johns, also a frigate.
