Summer round-ups, July on stage and next month's events
Your free, weekly, curated guide to arts and culture in New Orleans
[Skip the smalltalk - click here for this week’s edition]
A summer round up for you this week, as we reach the end of our 2024-25 year! Swimming pools, sno-balls, plus July in festivals and on stage, with a blockbuster movie review thrown in for good measure. Of course, there’s your curated week in art and culture (Essence Fest, Black Girl Giggles Fest, and 4th July celebrations included), and hospitality news. Click here for the new edition.
Next week, we’ll run a skeleton edition of just the diary as we recalibrate the budget, and we’ll return fully on July 16th, with two first night reviews a new year of commissioned features. There’s still a chance to support us for just $5 a year/10c a month and be in the draw for a $200 gift card of your choice - we’ll make the draw on July 8th and announce the winner next week.

Much love.
