#TNCWeekend: 3.28-3.30

From the NOEW Summit and Congo Square Rhythms Festival to yoga pop-ups, Slow Drag, second lines, and more — here’s your guide to what’s happening this weekend in New Orleans!

Hey y’all — this one’s a long one!
This might be the most community we’ve ever packed into one newsletter, which honestly feels good to see — so many great things happening across the city.

Quick heads up: rain is in the forecast for Saturday, so plan accordingly. Still, the weekend is full of things to get into.

Here’s a few things to keep on your radar:
Friday is the NOEW Summit — whether you’re thinking about starting something or just want to soak up some creative energy, go ahead and pull up.
Saturday is stacked: yoga pop-ups, Congo Square Rhythms Festival in Armstrong Park, and if you’re a 90s baby... the Millennium Tour is back. & Slow Drag with ANTWIGADEE! and DJ RQ Away is a guaranteed good time!
Sunday might just be the busiest day. There’s the Brews, Bowls, and Bubbles Festival, GRLZWRLD Day Festival by Legatron Prime, a second line, and more.

Whatever you end up doing, enjoy yourself.
Tag us in your pics and stories — we love seeing y’all outside.

Slow Drag is Back!

The party where you dance, vibe, and feel every beat is returning to the city this Saturday, March 29 — and we’re bringing the slow burn with us.

Get ready for a night of classic 70’s slow jams and nothing but good energy. DJs ANTWIGADEE! and RQ Away are curating the soundtrack to your night — from slow dancing with someone new to rolling up and kicking back.

This is Slow Drag, and it’s all about the vibe.
