#TNCWeekend: 3.6-3.8

From International Women's Day celebrations and art walks to live shows and late-night vibes — here’s your guide to what’s happening this weekend in New Orleans!

Hey y’all, Spring is starting to show up around the city, and the first weekend of March is bringing back a lot of our favorite kinds of events!

First up, since it’s the first Saturday of the month, the Julia Street and Magazine Street Art Walks are back. We’re excited to be co-sponsoring an artist mixer and walk on Julia Street this Saturday. If you’ve been meaning to check out the art walks but didn’t want to go alone, this is a great chance to join a group and meet some amazing people while exploring the galleries. Check out the details below.

There are also plenty of night events happening across the city, so if you’re looking to get out after dark, this weekend definitely has options.

On Sunday, Cluck Fest is bringing something new to the calendar. It’s a first-time festival and block party for all the chicken lovers.

And of course, since it’s officially March in New Orleans, the crawfish day parties and Sunday Funday gatherings are starting to come back in full force. Expect patios, boils, DJs, and the kind of afternoons that somehow turn into evenings.

Take a look through the list below, try something new, put something new on your calendar!

Lastly, 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!
