From Juneteenth celebrations and outdoor activities to pool parties and late-night vibes — here’s your guide to what’s happening this weekend in New Orleans!

Hey y’all, happy Juneteenth! 🖤

It’s a great weekend to support local, and there are so many ways to celebrate across the city. From art experiences and museums to wellness events, pool parties, and late-night festivities, there’s truly something for everyone.

Summer is moving, and we can’t wait to keep sharing more things to do with you. And if you’re ready to plan ahead, now is a great time to upgrade to Quarter Club - our ESSENCE Fest and Tales of the Cocktail guides are coming soon.

As always, we’ve got a few picks below, but don’t forget to check out the full June Social Calendar if you haven’t already. It’s the easiest way to plan ahead and keep up with everything happening this month. 🔑

Featured: DAYS LIKE THESE - Juneteenth Poolside Cookout ☀️

We’re officially co-hosting a Juneteenth Poolside Cookout with the Velvet Sessions team - the crew known for bringing some of the best R&B nights!

We’re taking things poolside with DJ Rakimbeau and DJ FTK, great food, resort-style pool vibes, and all the nostalgic cookout energy you remember from last year. Think early 2000s summer: water guns, water balloons, good music, good people, and a few treats and surprises we’re saving for the day of.

This is for the ones looking to relax, dance a little, cool off by the pool, and spend Juneteenth surrounded by community and a good time.

Tickets and sections are moving quickly. Get your tickets and come spend Juneteenth poolside with us 😊
