Paramount Gala 2020
The Paramount Gala featuring Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue has moved to October 30, 2021.
While the event had originally been postponed to March, we’ve had to push back one more time to ensure we can all be together to enjoy this special celebration. This New Orleans-themed event will now take place on Halloween weekend and we promise it will be worth the wait! We will have unforgettable music, friends, NOLA eats, and complimentary drinks all night long; the festivities will continue post-concert as we fais do-do down Congress Avenue for the street party and celebration.
Celebrate all that is NOLA where sounds and cultures around the world converge. Traditional jazz, second lines, authentic Cajun and creole cuisines, and classic New Orleans cocktails – all on the night before All Hallows Eve, which will set an undeniably haunted backdrop for toasting to the spirits of the Crescent City. Put a little N’awlins in your soul!
Laissez les bons temps rouler, cher!
