#TNCWeekend: 6.6-6.8

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

Hey y’all — hope the week’s been treating you right! The heat is on, but at least the sun’s out and the rain gave us a break. This weekend, I’m sharing over 50 events happening from Thursday to Sunday — from new finds like the Mac & Cheese Fest to classics like the Creole Tomato Fest.

Want full access to the full list and early looks at upcoming events? Consider becoming a paid subscriber for just $5/month. 😊

Live music and shows are popping off all weekend — Orchestra Noir, Chippo at Toulouse, and more. The party lineup’s strong too: pool parties, new DJ sets, and the Kinfolk series landing in New Orleans on Saturday. Virgin Hotels is hosting a few pop-ups, and there’s a new spot called Virgo where DJ Jess is spinning on Sunday.

Whether you’re outside with your crew or vibing solo, scroll through, plan your lineup, and make the weekend yours!
