With the holiday season upon us, everyone at the Louisiana SPCA is excited to share about our Home for the Holidays event! For all of December we are offering a reduced adoption fee of just $10 for pets over six-months-old. 

The best gift you can give a homeless animal this holiday season is a place to call home. It is our goal to home as many of our adorable adoption ready animals as we can so that they have a reason to celebrate this season too. 

PLUS when you adopt a dog 40lbs or bigger, not only will you get everything that comes with a normal adoption, you'll also receive a FREE  adoption kit with all your big dog essentials! The total value of this kit is $125 and includes an easy walk harness and leash, lupine collar, wire kennel, kong toy, water and food bowl, and an ID tag.  

Every animal that adopts a human is spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested. Each adoption also includes a bag of Hill’s Science Diet food, and a discount for online dog training through GoodPup. 

Our New Orleans Campus is open Monday through Saturday noon until 7pm for adoption. Our Plaquemines Parish Campus is open Tuesday through Saturday 10am until 5pm.

Join us in welcoming Michael Harold and Quinn Peeper to BK House for a presentation of their upcoming book, "Classical Shindig: Amateur Artistry"!

In 2018, Michael Harold and Quinn Peeper made orchestral debuts with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. It took two years to learn the pieces but the concert was a smashing success both for pianists and audience. The concert raised money for a non-profit, The English Speaking Union, of which Quinn is chairman. Michael and Quinn threw a party at their home for out of town guests and the event was published in Adore Magazine. The photographs of the garden and the interiors of their 1860s uptown home inspired the two (A physician and a lawyer) to create a book related not only to their music pursuits but also to entertaining at home. Their book, “Classical Shindig, Amateur Artistry” will come out in the spring of 2023.

Become a member of The Historic BK House & Gardens at bkhouse.org/membership.

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 /

Tuesday/martes–Saturday/sábado, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m; Sunday/domingo, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

Free ticketed admission / Acceso gratuito con entrada

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.

The Historic New Orleans Collection

Join us in celebrating the New Orleans debut of "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition," an interactive experience that offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future of a landmark that has weathered wars, witnessed Napoleon's coronation, withstood a devastating fire in 2019, and is now undergoing a meticulous restoration to return the structure to its former glory.

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 stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.

Admission is free, with timed-ticketing reservations required. Learn more and reserve tickets: hnoc.org/notre-dame

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.

New Orleans Chamber

 Annual Meeting & Business Luncheon

REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED

Keynote Speaker:

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards

Upon taking the oath of office, Gov. Edwards inherited the largest budget deficit in Louisiana’s history, following years of budget mismanagement, which included cuts to higher education and vital state resources and services. In 2016, the state faced a $1 billion shortfall to close out the last quarter of the fiscal year. And in 2017, the state faced a $2 billion deficit in the governor’s first full fiscal year.

Gov. Edwards and a bipartisan, bicameral group of lawmakers worked hard to stabilize the state’s budget through a balanced approach. Today, higher education funding has been restored, the state’s gross domestic product is the highest it’s ever been and Louisiana’s budget is balanced and stable.

One of the governor’s top priorities coming into office was comprehensive criminal justice reform. For decades, mass incarceration plagued Louisiana, and the state led the nation in incarceration rates. Gov. Edwards signed sweeping bipartisan criminal justice reform legislation in 2017 that targets recidivism and invests in treatment programs. In 2018, the state saw a 20 percent decrease in the number of people imprisoned for non-violent crimes. Under his leadership, Louisiana shed the title of the most incarcerated state in the country.

Gov. Edwards continues to do what the people sent him to Baton Rouge to do: Put Louisiana First. Hundreds of thousands are insured, Louisiana’s budget is stable, and Louisiana is open for business.

NOLA on Tap Returns

Yeah You Right Events tabbed to bring back Louisiana’s Largest Beer Festival

New Orleans, LA. – NOLA on Tap, the beloved beer festival in support of the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LASPCA), will return to the festival calendar in 2023. 

Yeah You Right Events, a new partnership between Top Taco and Food Fight producer Shane Finkelstein and restaurateur and Cinco de Mayo Fest producer Oscar Chimal, will take charge of the popular homebrew and craft beer festival. While some changes will be in store for NOLA on Tap, the LASPCA will remain sole beneficiary of the event.

Top Taco and Food Fight have become can’t-miss food festivals in the city. Yeah You Right Events aims to make NOLA on Tap look more like those events while still retaining many of the features that made it one of the largest beer festivals in the country. 

Homebrewers will still battle it out for coveted awards and top-notch live musical acts will still grace the stages, but NOLA on Tap will now be a 21 and over ticketed event, and move from City Park on the fall calendar to Lafreniere Park on March 18th, 2023 from 2pm-7pm.

“We really wanted to take NOLA on Tap out of hurricane season,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein. “We love Lafreniere Park for the type of events that we do and its proximity to the city. It really is the perfect venue for medium-sized festivals.”

Other changes will include an all-inclusive ticket package for beer-lovers and a VIP Experience that will include a crawfish boil, open bar, signature beers, lounge seating, private restrooms, and additional food and entertainment. 

Early bird tickets will start at $10 for “Designated Drivers” and $35 for unlimited beer samples, while all-inclusive VIP tickets will start at $95 and end up at $125 at the gate.

“We are so excited to have Yeah You Right Events bring back NOLA on Tap,” says CEO of the LASPCA, Ana Zorrilla. “We couldn’t have asked for a better group to bring it back after a 3 year-long hiatus.” 

When NOLA on Tap was conceived back in 2009, Abita Brewing was the only brewery in Louisiana. Today, there are over 40 breweries in the state and dozens more around the Gulf Coast. The goal of Yeah You Right Events is to have every local and regional brewery represented at this year’s festival. 

“From Gnarly Barley and Urban South to NOLA Brewing Company and Bayou Teche, we now have some of the best breweries in the country right in our backyard,” said Oscar Chimal. 

A craft beer competition will be added to NOLA on Tap so festival-goers and celebrity judges can vote for their favorite Pilsners, Lagers, Porters, Sours, and Stouts.

Another feature added to the festival will be the Doggie Drag Show presented by Petcetera. Come out and watch our lovable pups strut their stuff on the runway and sign up to be a foster for those waiting to be adopted. 

The goal is to raise $100,000 for the LASPCA so they can continue to do the important work they do in our community.

Tickets will go on sale on December 15th.

We wanted to put up the ticket link for the "DONNA'S REVISITED" show that is taking place at Chickie Wah Wah on Thursday, Dec. 29 from 8-11pm. It's going to be a fun night of music featuring the Leroy Jones Quintet, the swinging band from back in the day when we used to play every Saturday at Donna's Bar & Grill which was on Rampart Street and Saint Ann. There's going to be lots of original music we used to play from the Leroy Jones songbook along with our very swinging arrangements of some great New Orleans music.

Donna's was the place where real and good New Orleans music was played and it was the place where musicians would hang out after or before and sometimes during their gigs. It was the brass band headquarters for many years then Donna and her husband, Charlie, who did all the amazing cooking from that little kitchen in the back, started having bands like Leroy's and Bob French's. It was a very important establishment in the New Orleans music scene for lots of years and it was always very friendly to musicians and the music lovers who hung out there. We all met some incredible people and established some life long

friendships. Lots of bands developed their sound in that small soulful room.

So on Dec. 29 we will be reminicing about Donna's Bar and Grill with music and Free Red Beans ( I would say like Charlie used to do, but he would never share his recipes, but if anybody happens to know his recipe, maybe we could get you to cook them).

The band that played and traveled the world together is Leroy Jones - trumpet, Gerald French - Drums, Mitchell Player - bass, Paul Longstreth - piano, Craig Klein - trombone.

Come get some of this....

$15 presale/$20 at the door. (thats inexpensive prices BTW)

LSU will play Purdue for the first time ever on January 2 in the Citrus Bowl

LSU will cap off coach Brian Kelly’s first season in the Citrus Bowl against the Purdue Boilermakers on Jan. 2.

The game is set for Noon CT in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida and will mark the third time the Tigers have played in the bowl game since 2016.

After dropping back-to-back games to both Georgia and Texas A&M to end the season, it was inevitable the Tigers’ lofty bowl expectations would diminish, pushing them to a Citrus Bowl berth.
