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

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.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year at The Roosevelt New Orleans!

Mark your calendars for the return of our dazzling Holiday display….Tuesday, November 29 we flip the switch and deck the halls! We can’t wait to celebrate with you this Holiday Season!

By Shan Bailey

- Legendary singer Irma Thomas, known as the “Soul Queen of New Orleans,” will lead the lighting of the Waldorf Wonderland at the Roosevelt New Orleans on Nov. 29.

Each year, the Roosevelt Hotel’s beloved New Orleans holiday tradition helps to mark the start of the season.

As Roosevelt’s 2022 honorary lobby lighter, Thomas will flip the switch on more than 112,000 twinkling lights, 1,600 feet of garland and 4,000 glass ornaments adorning The Roosevelt’s block-long, grand lobby. The lobby lighting begins at 5 p.m.

The long-awaited, New Orleans holiday tradition returns each November to celebrate the launch of the holiday season. Following the lobby lighting, the Roosevelt New Orleans opens its breathtaking lobby for visitors to partake in the beauty and spirit of the season.

In soccer, there are ties that feel like victories and ties that feel like defeats. The United States has experienced one of each in the group stage of this World Cup.

Squandering a late lead against Wales in the 1-1 opener Monday left a bad taste, but standing up to mighty England in a 0-0 stalemate Friday was cause for light celebration.

Nothing good, however, would come from another draw on the final day of Group B play Tuesday. The United States (two points) must beat Iran (three points) to finish in the top two and advance to the round of 16. With a loss or tie, this World Cup adventure ends.

World Cup tiebreakers and advancement scenarios, explained

When the 32-team competition began, getting out of the group was the threshold for modest success after missing the 2018 tournament and infusing the roster with young players. Now the Americans are in position to finish their first mission.

GOOD SHEPHERD SCHOOL ANNOUNCES STAR-STUDDED “NIGHT AT THE OSCARS” GALA TO SUPPORT SCHOOL’S PHILANTHROPIC MISSION

“Night at the Oscars“ Gala to Take Place Thursday, December 1 at The Cannery in Mid-City

(New Orleans) –Good Shepherd School (GSS) announced today their annual gala with a theme of “Night at the Oscars” on Thursday, December 1, 2022, at The Cannery in Mid-City with the event’s patron party beginning at 6:30 p.m. and the main event starting at 7:30 p.m.

This year’s celebratory soiree will feature entertainment from renowned international party band “After Party.” Food and exotic drinks for the event will be prepared by Toulouse Gourmet Catering.

The “Night at the Oscars” gala is a new and picturesque twist on GSS’s annual “Dancing with the Stars” gala and will have special honorees and awards handed out over the course of the night. Some GSS graduates will be spotlighted in video vignettes during the gala.

“This year’s ‘Night at the Oscars’ gala will be a spectacular event and bring a little bit of Hollywood to New Orleans,” said GSS President and CEO Thomas Moran. “It’s the perfect event to celebrate our supporters and the hard work our team at GSS provides helping families break the cycle of generational poverty through quality, faith-based education – all funded by the generosity of others.”

The event will continue the legacy of the school’s founder, Father Harry Tompson. Since opening its doors in 2001, the Gentilly-based Good Shepherd Pre-K and Elementary School has carried out Fr. Tompson’s lifelong mission of helping and educating children in need. The Catholic school opened its doors just four months after Fr. Tompson’s death with the mission of educating children no matter their family’s financial situation. So far, GSS has graduated 219 students and currently serves 264 students.

GSS is opening a second campus in the Desire-Florida Community currently serving Kindergarten students with plans to expand to additional grades in the coming years. The new campus is being constructed in partnership with The Giving Hope Foundation and will be located at 3601 Desire Parkway.

GSS has 74 college-age graduates, more than 20 have already earned their college degrees and will be featured on the school’s ever growing GSS College Graduate Wall. Additionally, more than 40 GSS alumni are nearing their college graduations in the next few years. GSS graduates have attended 25 different colleges and universities throughout the United States, including nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities. GSS Graduates have majored in just about every available academic program including Aviation, Art, Biology, Communications, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Education, English, Kinesiology, Law, Math, Mechanical Engineering, Medicine, Nursing, Political Science, and Physical Therapy.

Currently, 145 GSS graduates are thriving academically in local area Catholic, private, public, and charter high schools. GSS graduates have attended 16 local Catholic schools with the most significant numbers at St. Augustine, Jesuit, Brother Martin, Archbishop Rummel, St. Katharine Drexel, Cabrini, St. Mary's Academy, Mount Carmel Academy, and De La Salle. GSS now has two graduates attending Holy Cross High School and two others enrolled at St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis.

Tickets for the event start at $125 and include an open bar and unlimited food. A limited number of sponsorships are available. For more information on the event, tickets and sponsorships, visit https://us.givergy.com/GSSGala. Officials say the renowned GSS “Dancing with the Stars” event will return in Fall 2023.

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.
