#TNCWeekend: 7.31-8.2☀️

From White Linen Night events and live shows to pool parties and late-night vibes — here’s your guide to what’s happening this weekend in New Orleans!

Hey y’all,

Hope your week is going well! July has been packed with so many incredible events, and we’re wrapping it up with one of our favorite traditions of the year: White Linen Night in the Arts District this Saturday.

If you’re planning to go, be sure to check out the official Arts District New Orleans gallery list linked below to see all of the participating galleries and exhibitions. The event takes place throughout the Julia Street corridor and surrounding Arts District, making it easy to create your own art crawl with friends while exploring some of the city’s best local artists and creative spaces.

Official gallery guide: Arts District New Orleans

Whether you’re checking out a new gallery, visiting a favorite neighborhood spot, or simply getting out and exploring, there are plenty of great ways to spend the weekend.

Have an amazing weekend, and I can’t wait to share everything happening in August early next week!
