#TNCWeekend: 4.3-4.5 🐣

From crawfish boils to Easter celebrations to live shows and late-night vibes — here’s your guide to what’s happening this weekend in New Orleans!

Hey y’all, hope you’re ready for a good Easter weekend! The city is full of reasons to step outside, make a plan, and actually use that social calendar.

There’s a lot on the list, but here are a few highlights to get you started. Mr. Happy Hour is hosting a Good Friday crawfish boil over at K Social, which feels like the perfect way to kick things off. Saturday, we’re co-hosting an artist mixer & art walk - if you saw the video, then you already know the vibe. It’s a great way to meet new people and tap into the energy of the Arts District during the First Saturday Art Walk. Make sure you RSVP on Posh. Nola Miles Club is celebrating 2 Years at the Virgin Hotel- Quarter Club 🔑members have a special discount below!

Then Sunday, the city leans all the way into Easter with parades throughout New Orleans and plenty of brunches & day parties to choose from, depending on how you want to close out the weekend.

Scroll through, lock in a few plans, and let us know what you end up getting into!

As always, if you like to plan ahead, here’s the link to the April Edition of #TNCAgenda.

Inside the April 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!

Nectar is a new space created for Black and Brown queer women to connect through music, energy, and softness. A sensual, intentional experience created to bring community together and offer something new to the city. Curated by queer women for queer women.

If you’ve been looking for something different, something that feels like community and not just another night out, this is one to step into.
