#TNCWeekend: 6.5-6.7 ☀️

From festivals and pride events to pool parties and late-night vibes — here’s your guide to what’s happening this weekend in New Orleans!

Hey y’all,

Hope you’re having a great week! It’s officially the first week of June, which means our June Social Calendar is live. If you haven’t checked it out yet, tap the link and start planning ahead.

As a reminder, special editions like the monthly social calendar are sent to our upgraded subscribers, giving you a head start on what’s coming up around the city. In July, we’ll also have two special editions: one for ESSENCE Festival and one for Tales of the Cocktail, because we already know those weeks are full of events, activations, and plenty to get into.

But for now, let’s get into this weekend. We’ve got festivals, Black Pride events, pool parties, and more. Summer is officially here!
