Hey y’all, Hope you’re having a good week! There’s a lot to look forward to this weekend. Art and community events are leading the lineup, with several Second Saturday art showings, plus wellness events like community yoga and run clubs if you’re looking to start the day outside. At night, a few new series are popping up while some familiar favorites are making their return.

It’s also a big cultural weekend. The Irish Channel Parade rolls on Saturday, which is always a good time if you’re in the neighborhood. And on Sunday, Uptown Super Sunday takes over around A.L. Davis Park. If you’ve never been, it’s a great introduction to the second line culture, with music, Mardi Gras Indians, and a festival-style atmosphere!

Check out the events below and add something new to your social calendar this weekend!

If you like to plan ahead, here’s the link to the March Edition of #TNCAgenda.

Inside the March Agenda you’ll find:
• Concerts and shows you don’t want to miss
• Festivals and cultural events happening all month
• Networking events and business mixers
• Galas and philanthropy moments
• A look ahead at major spring and summer events like French Quarter Fest, ESSENCE Festival of Culture, Tales of the Cocktail, and more

It’s your bigger picture view so nothing sneaks up on the calendar!

Let’s get into the weekend

-The Nola Collective


Featured Event: Beats & Games w/ DJ Rell

If you’re looking for something to get into this Friday, March 13th, check out Beats & Games with DJ Rell at Emporium Arcade Bar!

This series is perfect if you’re in the mood for something laid-back. Think good music, arcade games, and a little friendly competition with Uno, Spades, checkers, pool, and more. If you enjoy a chill dive-bar vibe and a casual night out with friends, this is definitely one to add to the calendar.

DJ Rell hosts this event monthly, making it a great go-to if you’re looking for something low-key but still fun.

Time: 10 PM until
Location: Emporium Arcade Bar
