Macron to become first French president to visit New Orleans in more than 45 years

Le Figaro

By: Emily Davison

NEW ORLEANS - French President Emmanuel Macron will travel to New Orleans on Dec. 2 as part of his state visit to the U.S., becoming the first French leader to make the visit since 1976.

The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported the trip is expected to highlight the historic connection between his country and its former colony while also touching on pressing issues such as climate change.

It will be the first visit to the city by a French president in more than 45 years and only the third ever. France's consul general in New Orleans, Nathalie Beras, confirmed the visit, according to the news outlet.

French daily Le Figaro reported the visit is intended to showcase France's cultural and social imprint in the United States. Macron plans to announce a fund to finance French language education, as well as speak about climate issues with Gov. John Bel Edwards.

He also plans to tour the French Quarter and discuss culture and music, the news outlet said.

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin

Book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge

Based on the Film from Universal Pictures

Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical is a 2016 Broadway musical based on the 1942 film of the same name. The libretto is by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Based on the classic film, this joyous musical features thrilling dance numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a parade of hit Irving Berlin songs, including “Blue Skies,” “Easter Parade,” “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” “Heat Wave,” and “White Christmas.” Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut. He quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. So Jim and Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare, turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn that celebrates each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July.

Audience members can also purchase a meet & greet with photo op on the stage after the show with their favorite characters! Rated G

Directed by Kelly Fouchi

The Family Line is very sweet and powerful at the same time!   

The show's plot is an original performance inspired by the histories of the BK House and the 1892 General Strike, 

when over 30,000 New Orleans workers walked off the job to fight for shorter work days, increased pay, and ‘closed’ 

union shops. It was a successful interracial organizing event that shut down the city for days before winning workers’ 

historic rights. The new immersive play is produced by Goat in the Road and set in the HIstoric BK House and Gardens, 

so during the show, audience members will be able to explore the historic property, following the characters and storylines 

they choose. The production will take place on the ground level of the courtyard and surrounding buildings, making it 

accessible to all. This stately 1826 mansion in the French Quarter contains collections from the Beauregard Family and 

from noted author Frances Parkinson Keyes.

Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles

A bilingual exhibition / Una exposición bilingüe

November 2, 2022–January 22, 2023 /

About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición

New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.

Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era

Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023

Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.

In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.

“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.

After two-year absence, Norco Christmas Parade returning to River Parishes on Dec. 4

Shan Bailey

NORCO, La. - ‘Tis the season for the return of a River Parishes holiday tradition. After a two-year absence, the Norco Christmas Parade returns on Dec. 4.

The Norco Civic Association confirmed the parade will roll again with the theme “Norco Honors Our First Responders,” which was set for 2021 before Hurricane Ida forced organizers to cancel a second year. In 2000, the parade was nixed due to COVID-19.

Stephen Weber, president of the Norco Civic Association, says bringing the family-friendly holiday tradition back to the community was truly a team effort.

“I’m proud to say that this event is a testament to the community of Norco and our surrounding communities in St. Charles Parish that work together to introduce and usher in the spirit of the Christmas season,” Weber said.

The Norco Christmas Parade kicks off the holiday season in the River Parishes with floats, classic cars and marching groups.

Festivities begin with Santa and Mrs. Claus flying in by helicopter and landing on the levee at the corner of Apple Street and River Road around 12:45 p.m. Then, the parade rolls at 1 p.m. starting at the corner of Apple Street and River Road and culminating at the Norco Town Square near Apple Street and River Road.

Several marching groups will also join the parade including the 610 Stompers, Ain’t Misbehavin’ Social Club, the Star Wars 501st Legion Marchers, the Krewe des Fleurs marchers, Shriners Dune Buggies, New Orleans Pelicans Masters Touch Drumline and the Bowzer’s Riding Club. A number of area school bands, dance teams and spirit groups will also march along with the parade.

Organizers say the River Region Ballet will also feature the main characters from its “The Nutcracker” production marching in the parade.

We have had countless Eat Club events since then, but they ended in late 2019. The 50th-anniversary dinner in September reminded us how much fun the Eat Club dinners were. So...

We are pleased to announce that we are starting them up again, and what better place than one of our favorite restaurants? On Tuesday, December 6th at 6:30pm, we will offer the Reveillon Menu at Trenasse and the price will include wine pairings. The menu is below. It is $85 ++ Wines are included in the price.

On Thursday, December 15 at 6 pm we are excited to present “La Noche Buena: Spanish Christmas Music of the New World,” a free concert at St. Louis Cathedral featuring award-winning multi-instrumentalist Mahmoud Chouki " Mood " and the Krewe de Voix Chamber Choir directed by Paul Weber.

The program will explore the rich but largely unknown repertoire of the colonial-era Spanish Americas, including works by composers of Spanish, indigenous and African origins, including negrillos: Christmas songs written in African dialects with African musical forms and rhythms.

By emphasizing the tricontinental musical heritage of the Spanish New World, the program seeks to promote a greater appreciation of the artistic legacy of the Spanish Americas in conjunction with our exhibition "Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles," on view until January 22, 2023.
