Happening Now Babies!!!
🎶 Honey, grab your best dancing boots because NOLA X NOLA is back, and it’s gonna be legendary! We’re talking 10 days of nonstop music, cocktails overflowing like the Mississippi, and a city vibrating with rhythm, art, and that special New Orleans magic! And guess what? You’ll be staying just steps away from all the action at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn—LGBTQ+ owned and operated, and we’re here to welcome you with wide open arms (and maybe a little sass). 😘
Our little slice of heaven is one block from the famous French Quarter and a hop, skip, and a twirl away from hopping on an iconic New Orleans streetcar to take you wherever your heart desires. But with all the magic happening within walking distance, honey, you might just stay close and soak in everything that NOLA X NOLA has to offer.
Let’s break down some highlights, shall we? Tomorrow night, the streets are heating up with Mink Burlesque at The Howlin’ Wolf—and, girl, trust me, you don’t wanna miss this. Imagine feathers, sequins, and performers that’ll leave you clutching your pearls, all wrapped up in the steamy glow of New Orleans nightlife. The show kicks off at 10 PM on September 29—and you better come ready to throw some tips because these queens and kings are going to serve up a night you’ll never forget. 💃
And if burlesque isn’t your vibe (but let’s be real, it’s everyone’s vibe), just wait until October 6 rolls around. That’s when The Walrus takes the stage as part of NOLA X NOLA. What’s The Walrus, you ask? Think Beatles tribute with a NOLA twist—classic hits, funky rhythms, and all the nostalgia you can handle. Catch them at The Civic Theatre and prepare to be serenaded back in time while still riding the high of New Orleans’ soul.
But that’s not all, sugar. NOLA X NOLA continues to slay the game with NOLA Funk Fest at the New Orleans Jazz Museum on October 8. This one’s going to be all about that deep, dirty, get-down-and-groove funk that you just can’t resist. Expect local legends, soulful jams, and a party that goes until the sun comes up. You’ll want to be there, front and center, shaking it like the city’s heartbeat itself. 🎺🎷
Now, while you’re shaking and shimmying your way through this epic festival, don’t forget to refuel. We’re talking mouth-watering Cajun and Creole dishes—from po’boys dripping in sauce to beignets that’ll make you believe in love at first bite. Pair that with a cocktail (or five) and you’re ready to continue dancing your way through the fest. And let’s not even start on the art scene—okay, let’s do! The galleries, street performers, and sheer creativity this city breathes will have you inspired, elevated, and vibing on another level.
Speaking of vibing, the weather is cooling down, and honey, this city is about to be lit—literally and figuratively. NOLA in the fall means that crisp air mixes with the lingering warmth of summer, making it the perfect time to let loose in the streets. Second line parades will be spilling into every corner, and trust me, baby, you don’t want to miss being part of this vibe.
So, whether you’re getting funky at the Jazz Museum, shaking it at Howlin’ Wolf, or belting out Beatles hits with The Walrus, make sure you’ve got a comfy, cozy, affordable place to lay your head after all the festivities. That’s where we come in at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn—our rooms are clean, affordable, and dripping with charm. And let’s be real, our staff is warm, welcoming, and here to make sure your stay is nothing short of fabulous. 🌈
Reservations are open, and they’re going fast! So grab yours now, because you don’t want to be left out of the party. This is New Orleans, honey—where the music never stops, the drinks never run dry, and the good times roll on forever. 🎉 Come stay with us and experience it all firsthand.
